\n

President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has commiserated with the Cameroonian fraternity over the death of former President of Confederation of African Football (CAF), Issa Hayatou.<\/p>\n

Hayatou died after a protracted illness in the French capital, Paris, on the eve of his 78th birthday.<\/p>\n

He served as CAF\u2019s president between 10th March, 1988 to 16th March, 2017.<\/p>\n

After 29 years in office as CAF President, Hayatou lost the bid for a fresh term in 2017 to Madagascar\u2019s Ahmad Ahmad.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NFF and the entire Nigeria football family are terribly saddened by the death of Alhaji Issa Hayatou.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a great and much-loved leader of African football and did his best to leave African football greater than he met it,\u201d Gusau said in a statement released by the NFF.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlhaji Hayatou was a man of strong character and integrity. We love him but God loves him more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe pray that Almighty Allah will grant him eternal rest and also grant the Cameroonian, nay African football family the fortitude to bear the loss.\u201d<\/p>\n
