🚨 Amaju Pinnick Fires Back at South Africa’s Sports Minister! 🇳🇬🔥
Former NFF President Amaju Melvin Pinnick has slammed South Africa’s Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie, telling him to “speak like a statesman, not a street thug.” 😤💬
👤 McKenzie: “I want Nigeria to lose. They must not go to the World Cup. Another African country must go.”
👤 Pinnick: “If it’s God’s will for Nigeria to qualify, no careless statement can stop it. It’s shameful that someone like McKenzie represents a developed nation like South Africa. Many South Africans knowledgeable in football would never speak with such hate.”
Pinnick also reminded McKenzie that Nigeria’s win over Benin actually helped South Africa’s World Cup chances! 😅⚽
