Sepp Blatter: Resignation speech

I have been reflecting deeply about my presidency and about the forty years in which my life has been inextricably bound to FIFA and the great sport of football. I cherish FIFA more than anything and I want to do only what is best for FIFA and for football. I felt compelled to stand for re-election, as I believed that this was the best thing for the organisation.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter's 2011 remarks on racism in football -- that on-pitch abuse can be solved with a handshake -- were just one of a series of controversial quotes to be attributed to the head of world soccer.  That election is over but FIFA’s challenges are not. FIFA needs a profound overhaul. While I have a mandate from the membership of FIFA, I do not feel that I have a mandate from the entire world of football – the fans, the players, the clubs, the people who live, breathe and love football as much as we all do at FIFA. Therefore, I have decided to lay down my mandate at an extraordinary elective Congress.

Buhari Refusal to Attend Debate is Cowardice- Rights Group

The refusal by the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress ( APC ), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, to participate in the proposed presidential debate organised by the Nigeria Electoral Debate Group (NEDG), as cowardice.

According to Comrade Oluwasanmi Solomon of the Arise Africa Youth Coalition, Buhari's non participation in the debate showed that he was scared to expose his ineptitude. He said, it was only proper that the former Head of State gave the electorates an opportunity to peak into his intellectual capacity.

He alleged that it was rather unfortunate that the APC Presidential candidate who has been accused of not possessing the required academic qualification to contest the elections will shy away from the only opportunity to prove his detractors wrong.
Speaking to newsmen in Abuja, Comr. Oluwasanmi who stated that the people were the most important ingredient in a democracy, advised Buhari to go back to his handlers to understudy the tenets of democracy.

"It is rather unfortunate that the General is yet to understand how democracy works. This system is about the people, and the peoples' decision should be paramount. The people have asked for a debate Buhari should oblige them to show how people oriented he will be as president". He said.

Speaking further the civil rights activist also berated the APC for supporting their candidate in his refusal to participate in the debate. He noted that the change longed for, was one that will carry the people along and not a change that will be anchored on a cabal or person.

While challenging the party, Oluwasanmi called on the APC "to prove their popular claim of being a body of intellectuals by coming out face Jonathan during the debate. He said the debate will not only put paid to Buhari's certificate sagacity also expose his intellectual capability.
