Constant Omari, ex-membre du Conseil de la FIFA : « Gianni (Infantino) a mis la main basse sur la CAF et l’Afrique»
Former president of the Congolese Football Federation, Constant Omari, held high-ranking positions within the CAF and FIFA organizational charts. He therefore knows FIFA president Gianni Infantino quite well. A guest on Tuesday's podcast "Let's Talk Straight: Who Wants to Kill the AFCON?" broadcast on AFO Media, the Bukavu native accused the Italian-Swiss politician of having seized control of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and Africa itself.
"There is no longer any leadership today, there is no longer any independence of mind."
“Gianni Infantino has seized control of CAF and Africa, and since there are no longer any opinions contrary to his own, he can get away with anything… Gianni has a guillotine hanging over everyone in Africa today. There is no more leadership, no more independence of mind. When you look at the composition of the CAF executive committee, very few who used to speak out can no longer do so. He has a file on each of them,” revealed the former CAF Vice-President.
The Congolese man therefore presents the Italian-Swiss man as a bigwig who also decides on the elections at CAF.
Is Motsepe indebted to Gianni?
He will also say that the CAF president owes him his current position.
"Patrice Motsepe is there solely because of Gianni's will, who requested a meeting in Rabat and asked the other candidates to withdraw their candidacies. It was also Gianni who influenced certain heads of state to order their representatives to withdraw their candidacies," said Mr. Omari.
When Alain Foka asks him if Morocco is not influential enough to stand up to Gianni, he reminds the journalist of the deadline awaiting the kingdom of Morocco: "They have a World Cup to co-organize. They cannot openly oppose" the FIFA president.
