Ex-Super Eagles Captain Yobo Hints at Political Ambitions

Former Super Eagles Captain Joseph Yobo has hinted at a potential move into politics, expressing an open mind about public service.

“

You can never truly tell what will happen; the future is always in God’s hands. As for whether I will join politics, you can never say never.

Yobo, who captained Nigeria to their 2013 Africa Cup of Nations victory, suggested that the future is in God's hands and one should "never say never" to political aspirations. He noted that leadership is not a new concept for him, having served as captain of the national team and held leadership roles throughout his career.

"I am a sports person, but of course, I have lived most of my life abroad, served as the captain of the Nigerian national team, and held leadership roles before," Yobo stated. He explained that his interest in politics stems from a natural understanding of how policy impacts citizens and how governance shapes daily life.

His presence at recent project inaugurations in Abuja, led by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, was to witness the transformations in the capital city. Yobo urged the FCTA leadership to maintain their momentum to benefit residents and enhance Abuja's status as an international destination.

You just never know what the future holds. When the time is right, God will decide.
