The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party has expressed regret over Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the 2022 World Cup scheduled to take place in Qatar starting from November 20.

Peter Obi blamed the federal government while speaking at the flag-off of his 2023 presidential campaign in Lafia Nasarawa State on Saturday.

The former governor of Anambra State held that it is not in Nigeria’s best interest to miss out on the 2022 World Cup.

Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup after the Super Eagles played a 1-1 draw against the Black Stars of Ghana.

Obi stated that his administration will invest heavily in sports and information technology should he become Nigeria’s next president.

He assured Nigerians that he would work with his running mate, Yusuf Datti-Baba Ahmed, and invest in sports.

He said:

“A country like Nigeria, a country of 200 million people, we did not qualify for the World Cup.

“Both of us (Peter Obi and Yusuf Ahmed Datti-Baba) will put money into sports.

“We will go to the World Cup always. We will put money into ICT. How can they play the World Cup without Nigeria? That cannot be.”

The nation’s loss led to chaos at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja where the match was played after fans invaded the football pitch causing trouble.

The fans also vandalised the recently refurbished facility in protest leading to sanctions by FIFA, the international football body.
