Speaking to Lagos Talks<\/a> FM, Okocha stated, “I failed woefully. I didn\u2019t complete my tenure, and I walked away. I raise my hand to admit that I didn\u2019t achieve anything as Delta FA Chairman.”\n<\/p>\n

Okocha attributed his failure<\/a> to systemic corruption and personal interests that hindered progress. “The structure will not allow people like us to succeed,” he explained. “The level of corruption in all sectors in Nigeria is too much. Too many people with personal interests won\u2019t allow you to work.”\n<\/p>\n
