NFF Interim Presidency Race Heats Up: Soname, Pinnick & Odegbami In Contention by SportblitsNews(op): 9:59pm On Aug 27
The race for the NFF interim presidency is gathering momentum following the resignation of Ibrahim Gusau, with Kunle Soname, Amaju Pinnick and Segun Odegbami reportedly among the names being considered.

Reports suggest the National Sports Commission (NSC) is particularly considering Kunle Soname, the Remo Stars owner, to oversee the transition. Former NFF president Amaju Pinnick and ex-Super Eagles captain Segun Odegbami have also emerged as possible options.

However, no interim appointment has been formally confirmed by the NFF. The next leadership will inherit a federation facing major challenges following Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the Super Falcons’ absence from the 2027 Women’s World Cup.

Who should lead the NFF during the transition — Soname, Pinnick or Odegbami?

Can't this Pinnick guy just go for a picnic and sit this out? I've been hearing his name for so long along matters of the NFF and Nigerian football, and still our football has not seen any progress or innovation.

Abeg sit this one out Oga.

Odegbami has tried to get to this position for a long time, he should be given the opportunity and western and eastern nigerian dont get that position why?
Re: NFF Interim Presidency Race Heats Up: Soname, Pinnick & Odegbami In Contention by TheStoriesOfMan: 8:19am On Aug 28
Amaju should go and sit down.

He has ruled the Glass House for years. What's he looking for?

Kunle Soname is the answer.

Odegbami is inexperienced,l et him learn from the ropes. Football administration no be field play.
Re: NFF Interim Presidency Race Heats Up: Soname, Pinnick & Odegbami In Contention by MrStylish(m): 8:24am On Aug 28
In everything we do..let's remove amaju from there..
Bad choice
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A former footballer should hold that position. He already understands the game and has lived through the painful, poor management of the NFF. Nigeria needs to get serious for once

The same Amaju that said no financial reward for any other national team aside the Super Eagles and the Super Falcons?

Please, let us know the sponsors he brought to the league because it is not the duty of the NFF to do so.

So, not qualifying the Super Eagles for the WC was due to bad luck?

Well done Sir.

Amaju is only looking for money to steal to panelbeat his mouth.

Soname is the best candidate for the job.

Has the experience and doesn't need to steal the just signed $8.5m/year Adidas deal.

I don't know the other contenders though, but I think a new and fresh eyes should be brought into the NFF.

What the person lacks in experience of the old ways that don't work, they can use their exploration of new ideas to make Nigerian Football better.

I mean, we celebrate clubs of cities from our own country, but there's almost no equal excitement about our own local leagues/clubs.

Then there's our fall from International Football relevance.

Meanwhile, Bros Segun has been contesting for this position from the time it was still called 'NFA'

Pinnick should not be anywhere near Nigerian football.
Re: NFF Interim Presidency Race Heats Up: Soname, Pinnick & Odegbami In Contention by ElGenio39: 8:45am On Aug 28

amaju should go and rest.
Re: NFF Interim Presidency Race Heats Up: Soname, Pinnick & Odegbami In Contention by femi4: 8:58am On Aug 28
Its yoruba's turn, Odegbami will finally have it. He lost several times when the northerners were in charge

Pinnick already had his time in Jona era

Soname should go n queue...Odegbami has been chasing this from his younger yrs. Give it to the MATHEMATICAL
Re: NFF Interim Presidency Race Heats Up: Soname, Pinnick & Odegbami In Contention by Bizibi(m): 9:01am On Aug 28
Pinnic should not bother to run.....why should he even think about it.
Re: NFF Interim Presidency Race Heats Up: Soname, Pinnick & Odegbami In Contention by Mrexcell(m): 9:05am On Aug 28
Odegbami should have been the best option this is the best opportunity for him to now put to practice all that he has been writing on nigeria's football over the years, solami who already owns remo Stars fc and also betnaija can't be at the same time leading the nff with all his vested interests. Corrupt amaju pinnick has absolutely no business been in that list.
Re: NFF Interim Presidency Race Heats Up: Soname, Pinnick & Odegbami In Contention by Ewedegubbler: 9:06am On Aug 28
Odegbami is Gona get it

Yorubanization agenda must agend in NFF

Edegbami has been trying since 1900 to become NFA NFF chairman. Now wey Tinubu Dey aso Rock, it’s his turn to chop
Re: NFF Interim Presidency Race Heats Up: Soname, Pinnick & Odegbami In Contention by Ewedegubbler: 9:09am On Aug 28
Amaju the greedy corruption picknick must not be mentioned in the list again oo

Just let him continue following infantino upandan as his butler but definitely not with NFF money
