Amaju Pinnick who is the Delta State FA chairman and also chairman of the Delta State Sports Commission, has been elected the president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).  The elections which held in Warri this afternoon, saw Mr Pinnick win through a run-off process after he could not get the two-third of votes.

The 43-year-old got 32 of the 44 votes in the run-off after polling 25 in the first round of voting during the NFF elective general assembly. Closely behind him was the vice chairman of Lobi Stars and former Nigeria international, Dominic Iorfa, who ended up in second place with eight votes in the run-off after he initially received six votes in the first round of voting.

Speaking to journalists Pinnick said;

“I am so excited winning the election and I will make sure I lift Nigerian football high when I assume office,"
