Penultimate week, rumours went round town that the footballer had given his unalloyed support to the former military dictator. But a visibly angry Kanu says, far from getting associated with IBB, he’s a professional footballer and social figure who rrespects his public image.
In his words, “How can anybody claim I have joined Babangida campaign train? It's all rubbish and laughable. I am not a politician and I have not endorsed anybody for any election. I am a professional footballer with a reputation and I cherish my image so much. I'm not campaigning for any politician."
A Lagos based political analyst who pleaded anonymity, , said it was possible IBB’s group was trying to ride on the popularity and brand equity of the football star to win more supporters to its side.
