Lulu who served as NFF president between 2006 and 2010 believes his decision is informed by a need to answer “a call to national duty.” On July 4, 2010, Lulu and other NFF chiefs, Amanze Uchegbulam and Taiwo Ogunjobi were impeached from their positions at a meeting of nine executive committee members of the football federation in Abuja.
Nine of the 13 members of the executive committee of the FA agreed to impeach the trio over “financial misappropriation charges and poor leadership” and with the purported threat of a 10-year Fifa ban over government’s decision to withdraw Nigeria from all international soccer matches hanging over the nation like a Sword of Damocles.
Lulu however believes it is time for him to make a return to the oval office of Nigerian football.
“Once again I have to answer to the clarion call. It is a call to national duty. Football is a game I love with all passion, and my achievements when I was the NFF President from 2006-2010 before I was forceful impeached from office are still very visible,” he said.
Lulu then claimed that Nigerians want him back as President of the NFF.
“If Nigerians have realised the positive contributions I made towards the game of football in the country, and they want me to return to my former position, then, I have no option to oblige to their request,” he said.
