FOOTBALL Oliech's ambition soars: Can the legendary striker become FKF president?
Oliech has revealed he aims at running for the seat as he feels he did not help the country achieve its goals while as a player.
According to Tanzanian publication Mwanaspoti, one comes from Egyptian outfit Pyramids, while the other hails from an unnamed club from Saudi Arabia. However, the Yanga bosses have been tight-lipped about the exact details of these offers.
Nevertheless, sources suggest that Mayele has been presented with a blasphemous offer, including a staggering USD 600,000 (over Sh 84.7 million).
These lucrative offers have put immense pressure on the club's hierarchy, making it increasingly challenging to keep Mayele within their ranks.

FKFPL Francis Baraza stands firm with Kenya Police despite AFC Leopards' pursuit
Baraza has not shut the door on the possibility of joining Leopards , although he says he is focusing on his job in charge of Police.
Despite Yanga's desire to retain the services of their star striker, the prospect of earning a monthly salary of $75,000 (over Sh 83 million) and a total income of $900,000 (over Sh 127 million) within a year seems too enticing for the 29-year-old Congolese international to ignore.
"The offers have been many and they continue to pour in, especially after being in the competition for the best player in Africa for local players, so the pressure to leave is great and anything can happen this week," a source within the Yanga camp revealed, as quoted Mwanaspoti.
The continuous influx of offers, particularly following Mayele's nomination for the African Local Player of the Year award, has intensified the pressure for him to leave.
