Rumor holds it that FIFA President Infantino has congratulated Samuel Eto’o FECAFOOT President for his contribution in developing sports in the country.
On social media platforms, information has been circulating that FIFA President has cancelled FECAFOOT’S debt of over 14 billion for his enormous contributions in building sports in the country.
After carrying out detail research, we realized that the news was fake, FIFA President has not congratulated Samuel Eto’o neither has her promised to cancel any debt.
Ernest Obama Head of Communications unit aware of the situation equally debunked the news stating that Samuel Eto’o was rather congratulated by the Moroccan FC for the wonderful organization of the women AFCON currently ongoing with Cameroon participating in the tournament.
The message displayed on several social media platforms reads
“Eto’o has been congratulated be FIFA President Gianni for transforming and doing great things as president of FECAFOOT within a very short period of time. Gianni has cancelled half of Cameroons debt of 14 billion frs fcfa due to Eto’o’s competence and promise to cancel all the debts if Eto’o continues with the same spirit. Events like this expose and shows how incompetent others in power handled our resources, Eto’o is here with his voice to bring change. Congratulations Mr. President and to football lovers of Cameroon and everyone who will benefit from this”
Fake news is however rampant on social media so users have been urged to verify information before it is made public.
