Former Cameroon captain Samuel Eto&rsquo;o has commented on the crisis that is shaking the Confederation of African Football before the elections which should allow his countryman Issa Hayatou to run for another term.<br /><br />Nigeria Football Federation supremo Amaju Pinnick has been openly campaigning against the re-election of Hayatou, who has been in power since 1988, and is supporting Ahmad Ahmad, the head of Madagascar&rsquo;s FA to be the new president. <br /><br />&ldquo;No institution resists the laws of cycles and change. I just hope that these changes will help African football to evolve, because it is the most important, &rdquo; said Eto&rsquo;o to Jeuneafrique.com.<br /><br />&ldquo;The development of CAN has improved infrastructure, and that is important. But the main beneficiaries of these changes must be players, especially those in Africa. <br /><br />&ldquo;The Caf is at a certain level of financial income. It is respected, within FIFA for example.&rdquo;<br /><br />The <span style="" class="notranslate">Antalyaspor striker added : </span>&ldquo;But we should bring more freshness to open up other horizons. Without denying what has been done. These changes could prolong and improve what has been accomplished. <br /><br />&ldquo;Look at FIFA: the arrival of Gianni Infantino in the presidency has reignited innovation. Trying to do something else at the head of CAF is not a bad idea&rdquo;.<br /><br />The elections for the president of CAF will take place on March 16 in Ethiopia. <br /><br />Igho Kingsley <br /><br />Photo Credit : thenff.com<br />
