Former Nigerian footballer and sports administrator, Segun Odegbami has announced that he would be vying for the governorship seat of his state, Ogun in the coming election.
Odegbami confirmed this through a post on his Facebook page.
He wrote, “I am going to stay around for a little while longer, still watch and report any interesting events around here, and properly think through my next project. Now more than ever before I know for sure why I want to contest for the office of governor of my State. The thought of a Footballer in government house excites many who have heard the rumour here. It will surely attract all manner of reactions back in my State,” he wrote.
Odegbami added that “Politics in the most sophisticated environment in Nigeria, for all things progressive, may never be the same again. I am looking forward to the challenge in faith and with hope.”
