If the new CAF President gets to spend 29 years like the newly evicted Issa Hayatou, he'd leave in 2046! Wow! Hayatou was everlasting!

Still wondering why those 20 voted for Issa Hayatou. Do they want African football to continue wallowing in Hayatou's wantonness?

This old man Issa Hayatou still grumbles after being fairly voted out of CAF presidency, would he have preferred a coup?

Issa Hayatou became CAF President in 1988. He was voted out today after 29 years. How old were you in 1988?
