Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president Amaju Pinnick will not contest for a FIFA council seat later this month after CAF did not endorse his nomination.

The elections into the FIFA Council are slated for on September 29 with seven possible candidates have already been announced by CAF - Almamy Kabele Camara (Guinea); Suketu Patel (Sychelles); Kwesi Nyantakyi (Ghana); Ahmad (Madagascar); Augustin Senghor (Senegal); Hamidou Djibrilla (Niger) and Chabur Goc Alei (South Sudan).

The seven shortlisted candidates will undergo the FIFA integrity test, before their names are finally ratified for the ballot.

An AfricanFootball.com investigation had revealed that Pinnick’s invitation of Infantino and 17 other African football federation presidents in July was only a cover-up to seek for support for his bid to contest for one of the FIFA seats, and this much has been confirmed by the man himself.

“As big as Nigeria, we don’t have a representative in CAF or in FIFA, so if I am ambitious to go to CAF or FIFA, yes because I am the president of the NFF, not because I’m just a member,” Pinnick told Lagos-based radio station, Lagos Talks FM on Tuesday.

“I am praying about it and if God wills it, why not? But the truth is Nigeria needs a presence globally and this is exactly what we are doing.”

AfricanFootball.com had earlier reported Pinnick’s interest in securing one of the two vacant African seats at the FIFA Council (formerly executive committee).

"The seven shortlisted candidates will undergo the FIFA integrity test, before their names are finally ratified for the ballot."

He doesn't even need to go through the FIFA integrity test before them throway him form. You already shot urself in the foot for two NFF president, Rio 2016 Saga and even at the weekend where they used the money donated by the state government as match bonus. awon werey alainironu... Bunch of fools

I like this.

He thinks they are playing the kind of dirty politics he and is cohorts are playing here in the name of governing football or their usual kind of football administration here always full of factionality.

Indeed Nigeria needs a representative at fifa or caf

nairalander should atleast pity this man now......as much as i dislike him does not mean i should always wish him badluck all the time/.....

Amaju pinnick, the big thief from warri. Old man when dey buy fire works dey shoot like small pikin during Christmas and New Year Eve. He won carry he kwanripcion go FIFA but him go fail.

k

Elegbete 1 of Brila Sports has proven himself to be a sports prophet. He said something close to CAF rubbishing Picknic. Ever wondered why Issa Hayatou was not present in Nigeria to welcome Infantino in his place as CAF president?

Worst still is the fact that Picknic's personal interest seemingly pitched Nigeria against CAF hence the questionable officiating in the under aged competitions that Nigeria participated in and failed to make progress.

OP what kind of rough play is this, are u sure he truly apply for FIFA seat


Does he think FIFA is where they accept failure for success

His decision making at the Glass House is costing us dearly already, imagine missing out of two consecutive AFCON, U17, U20 to crown it all, our outing at the Olympics was a total Shambolic and he still have the guts to be contesting for a seat in FIFA, this mad man is totally mad.

we need competent people to contest for this not incompetent foOlS like he is.

When Segun Odegbami was contesting for FIFA President, picnic made sure he never got represented, the only black that could have become the FIFA President.

stupid idiOt

Nigerian leaders/Politicians are not worth holding international positions becos they are all Stupidly Corrupt and also president buhari in actually confirmed to international communities that Nigerian politicians are criminals which pinnick is a member. Remember he was one of the officers who wanted to corner the money gift (390d) given to siasisa and obi by the Japanese doctor. It is was wise you reject him for life becos he will steal FIFA'S Money and hide it in a soakaway pit. Atleast if oyibo people thief they will ownup and resign but Nigerians will out of shame deny and stay put in office becos of judges that are thieves too.

NFF President that all teams under him did not qualify for any of the global competitions? He not serious jare.
