| R: Amaju being congratulated |
Delta State
Sports Association head Amaju Pinnick has emerged the president of the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFA) after an election held in Warri on Tuesday afternoon.
His
emergence is expected to bring an end to the rigmarole in the country’s
football sector that has earned the ire of Fifa over the last four months.
Pinnick led
the field with 32 votes, far ahead of the other candidates as Dominic Iorfa
polled eight (8) votes and Taiwo Ogunjobi got four (4) votes.
Running on
the campaign of reconciliation, Pinnick is expected to bring together the torn
football house.
Seyi
Akinwumi, lawyer and chairman of the Lagos State Football Association, emerged
1st Vice President while Musa Gusau Ibrahim emerged unopposed as the Chairman
of Chairmen.
Chris Green
also emerged unopposed as the South/South member of the NFF Board.
