The Pillar of Sports in Africa, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has condemned the ill-treatment meted out to the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Libya. Kalu stated that CAF must sanction Libya for treating the Super Eagles with such disdain and disregard, saying, “CAF must make that decision as quickly as possible to serve as a deterrent to any African country that behaves in such an irresponsible manner.

“These things must be put to a halt forthwith. This dishonorable display of lack of class and character must stop henceforth. I condemn this horrible disregard for fellow humans. It is an utter shame that the Libya Football Federation could display such a cunning strategy.

“These were the things they cunningly did to Enyimba Football Club of Aba, and I fought against it. CAF must award the three points to the Super Eagles of Nigeria immediately,” Kalu asserted.

As governor of Abia State, Kalu led Enyimba to win the CAF Champions League Cup consecutively in the 2003 and 2004 seasons.
