Amaju Pinnick has been elected the president of the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) in a voting process in Warri on Tuesday.
Pinnick, who is the Delta State FA chairman and also
chairman of the Delta State Sports Commission, had to win through a run-off

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.
Vice chairman of Lobi Stars and former Nigeria
international, Dominic Iorfa, ended up in second place with eight votes in the
run-off after he initially received six votes in the first round of voting.
Former NFF secretary-general Taiwo Ogunjobi, who finished a
distant second with nine votes in the first round of voting, came in third
position with four votes after the run-off.
Amanze Uchegbulam, a former NFF vice president, got four
votes.
However, Mike Umeh and Abba Yola ended the polling process
without anyvotes.
The seventh candidate, Shehu Dikko, was declared withdrawn
from the NFF presidential election by the football federation's electoral
committee since he was absent.
“I am so excited winning the election and I will make sure I
lift Nigerian football high when I assume office,” Pinnick told supersport.com
at the venue of the congress in Warri.
