He spoke on how he is planning to make the football team known throughout the world and Emulate the achievement of mountain of Fire Miracle football club.
*Ques : Can i meet you sir?*
My name is Fadilatu sheikh Mustapha Tored Abudulwasiu.
*Ques : When was this football club founded ?*
This football club was founded this year, February 2018.
*Ques : What motivated you to have a football club as an Islamic cleric?*
Actually i was once a footballer and that’s what i thought i will be in life, I played for Nigeria under 17, 21 in 1997, but there were complaints about my age back then in camp, i also played for Kano Pillars in 1992, 1993. Although injury stopped me from signing a progressional contract with them, Former Super Eagles forward Agahawo and Pius Ikedia were my football mates.

So i couldn’t make it in my football career due to injury, my daddy was even trying to help me with a team abroad, but i lost interest completely when i gained admission, into the university where i also played for my school Bauchi state university back then, so i can say being an ex footballer motivate me.
And my second motivation was that youths who are talented are being engaged in criminal acts in Nigeria, so they need to be encouraged and stopped from going to their bad Way’s, by the special grace of God we have 25 good, strong, skilful and healthy players in my football camp as i speak to you. So this also motivate me.
*Ques : Are this players on pay roll?*
No , we are still feeding them for now and we give them football kits till they sign a professional contract, so for now am managing the team with the little resources i have as an Islamic cleric.

*Ques : What are your plans concerning placing the football club on the international stage?*
We have Agents in Italy, Germany and united kingdom who are ready to partner with TAOSAF FOOTBALL CLUB.
We have registered this club, and we are trying to register it with the state government too. however we have been trying to Engage with some local teams and the team is still unbeaten after 20/matches played.
We have involved our foundation lawyer to prepare documents for them, to show us how we can sign them professionally, so from then payment will start.
So by November we are playing under 23 competitions which i have already invited some foreign scouts to come and watch their matches and choose players that impresses them for trials abroad to sign them for professional contract in Europe and from their i believe they can make it.
*Ques : What are your challenges since you started this football club?*
The challenges have been enormous, like the issue of camping the footballers, we need to know and check their criminals records in other not to tarnished my image and fame as a well known Islamic cleric in Ogun state, you know footballers can be funny at times with dubious character and my name is at stake. This is one of the challenges because we need to sit them down as well to feed them with words of God.
Eating is also part of the challenges, footballers don’t eat any food, so we need to placed them on diet wish i paid for their feedings everyday, that’s also a big task for me, you know we have foundation wish we spend on all every activities everyday.
So we need people, we need cooperate body, especially on Islamic world should come and assist this foundation with funds, I can’t do it alone, i need their support. Look at MFM football club they are doing fine and their pastors rally round to support the football club with funds and other Necessities.
So i am also using this medium to call on Islamic world to let us join hands together, help with money and support this our football club and emulate MFM football club achievements .
*Ques : What are the requirements of joining your team*
Once you’re good, my team will welcome you. both Muslim and Christian are welcome, just be healthy and
*Ques : Your message for Ogun State youths?*
Youths have been used to commit crime every now and there, so every youths should be calm and be closer to God, youths should see themselves as an ambassador of Nigeria because they don’t know what they will become tomorrow If they tarnish their images today. So all youth should shun and abstain from crime.

Ondo North Youth Alliance (ONYA) Endorses Chief Abdul Tunji Mohammed (ATM) for Senate, Cites Youth Capacity to Lead
The Ondo North Youth Alliance (ONYA), under the leadership of its President, Comrade Ojo Bright Eniafe, has formally endorsed Chief Abdul Tunji Mohammed (ATM) as its consensus candidate for the Ondo North Senatorial District in the 2027 elections.
The endorsement was announced at the Alliance’s expanded executive meeting held in Ikare-Akoko, with youth leaders drawn from all six Local Government Areas of Ondo North in attendance.
Speaking at the event, Comrade Ojo Bright Eniafe declared that the decision was driven by ATM’s clear vision for youth empowerment and economic transformation. “Chief Abdul Tunji Mohammed is not just another politician. He understands that the youth are not leaders of tomorrow – we are leaders today. He has the capacity, the network, and the will to convert our energy into productivity,” Eniafe said.
*Youth Capacity to Lead, Not Just to Clap*
ONYA praised ATM’s blueprint for tackling youth unemployment and rural-urban migration. Central to his agenda is the establishment of *skill acquisition and ICT training centers* across Akoko land, Owo and Ose to equip young people with 21st-century skills in tech, agriculture, fashion, welding, and digital enterprise.
The Alliance also highlighted ATM’s plan to *attract and facilitate factories and agro-processing zones* in Ondo North. “For too long, our brothers from the North have moved to Lagos and other states in search of jobs that don’t exist. With factories here, we keep our youth here. We build our economy here,” Comrade Eniafe stated. “ATM’s background in Finance, Real Estate, and Infrastructure Development gives us confidence that this is not empty talk.”
ONYA further noted that ATM’s track record of quietly supporting student groups, artisans, and young entrepreneurs proves he is youth-friendly and results-oriented. “He doesn’t wait for elections to show up. He has been doing the work,” the President added.
In his response, Chief ATM expressed deep appreciation to ONYA, describing the endorsement as “a call to greater service.” He pledged to sponsor bills and attract federal interventions that will prioritize youth employment, technical education, and industrial growth. “We will build the training centers. We will bring the factories. We will stop the forced migration of our youth. Ondo North will work, and our young people will lead that transformation,” ATM assured.
The Ondo North Youth Alliance called on all youth groups, student unions, and first-time voters across the senatorial district to unite behind ATM, describing him as “the candidate with the brain, the heart, and the blueprint for the youth.”

Former Ondo Deputy Governor Ali Olanusi Endorses Chief Abdul Tunji Mohammed (ATM) for Ondo North Senate
*Akure, Ondo State* — In a major boost to his senatorial ambition, Chief Abdul Tunji Mohammed, popularly known as ATM, has received the endorsement of His Excellency, Alhaji Ali Olanusi, former Deputy Governor of Ondo State.
The elder statesman formally adopted ATM’s bid to represent Ondo North Senatorial District during a courtesy visit to his Akure residence last week. The meeting, described by attendees as “warm and strategic,” saw Olanusi throw his political weight behind ATM ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Alhaji Olanusi is a towering figure in Ondo politics and a respected APC chieftain from Akoko, Ondo North. His political résumé spans decades: former Member of the House of Representatives, former State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and former member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Board of Trustees. His voice carries weight across party lines and within grassroots structures in Ondo North.
Speaking during the visit, Olanusi commended ATM’s character, capacity, and commitment to the people. He also paid glowing tribute to the legacy of ATM’s late father, Alhaji Kunle Abdul, whose philanthropy and community development efforts remain reference points in Akoko land and Ondo State.
“The good work of your late father is still speaking well for you,” Olanusi said. “You have shown the same heart for service. Ondo North needs a Senator who understands the people and has the competence to deliver. I believe you are that person.”
Responding, Chief Abdul Tunji Mohammed expressed gratitude for the endorsement, describing Olanusi as “a father, a leader, and a compass for many of us in Ondo politics.”
“This endorsement is humbling. It strengthens our resolve to offer Ondo North a new model of representation — one that is accessible, developmental, and people-driven,” ATM said. “We will not betray this trust.”
Political observers say Olanusi’s endorsement is significant. As a bridge between the old guard and the new generation, his backing is expected to galvanize support across Akoko, Owo, and Ose — the key blocs in Ondo North.
With endorsements now coming from traditional leaders, youth groups, and elder statesmen, ATM’s senatorial ambition continues to gather momentum as the 2027 political calendar draws closer.
