Amaju Pinnick has emerged as the new President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after winning the general elections held in Warri, Delta State.
Pinnick, who is the Executive Chairman of the Delta State Sports Commission, won the election by 32 votes after it went into a re-run and will replace Aminu Maigari as the new President of the NFF for the next four years.
Two rounds of voting were needed to determine the clear winner of the election after Pinnick got 29 votes out of the 44 accredited delegates, but it was not enough to secure a two-third victory.
However, in the run-off between former General Secretary of the NFF, Taiwo Ogunjobi, Dominic Iorfa and Pinnick, it was the latter who got the votes again that saw him emerge triumphant.
This time, Pinnick got 32 votes while Iorfa got 8 and Ogunjobi got just four votes.
More details to follow.
