FIFA ELECTS NEW PRESIDENT

FIFA President Gianni Infantino was re-elected to a second four-year term by acclamation on Thursday, after claiming that the financial results under his leadership would keep an industry CEO in the job for life.

Infantino faced no competition in the election and was elected by acclaim rather than a formal vote by the FIFA Congress in Kiagli, Rwanda. Since his first victory in 2016, FIFA has increased the 211 member federations’ basic annual funding from $250,000 to $2 million.Information Guide Nigeria

After the World Cup in Qatar concluded in December, FIFA had $4 billion in reserves. It has conservatively forecast at least $11 billion in revenue through the 2026 World Cup in North America.

“If a CEO tells the stakeholders that the products were multiplied by seven I believe that they would keep that CEO forever,” Infantino told FIFA members. “They would love for this story to keep on going.

“But I am here for a four-year cycle only,” added Infantino, whose presidency can eventually run to 15 years through 2031.NYSC Portal

“To all those that love me, and I know there are so many, and those that hate me, and I know there are a few, I love you all of course, today especially,” Infantino said after being elected.

When his campaign to become FIFA president in 2016 was struggling, Infantino said in an earlier congress-opening speech that he was inspired by Rwanda’s recovery from a civil war in the 1990s.

Infantino claimed he was told he would not be supported during a campaign trip to Rwanda.

“Of course, I was pretty depressed, about to give up,” he said, recalling a visit he made to the Kigali Genocide Memorial. “What this country has suffered and how this country came back up is inspiring for the entire world. So I certainly couldn’t give up because somebody is telling me something.”JAMB Result

The president of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, then made a speech traditionally offered to the host nation’s head of state.

Kagame defended Qatar, calling its critics “hypocritical” and urging for “bad politics” to be kept out of sports.
