Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president Amaju Pinnick will bankroll his own quest to sit on the executive committee of the Confederation (CAF) and it is understood he is prepared to set aside a war chest of at least a million US dollars.

“The cash is to finance his CAF election as well as that of his new ally and Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi to the FIFA Council,” a top official specially informed.

“He could even spend half his budget to support Nyantakyi.”

Pinnick plans for Nyantakyi to step down from the CAF executive committee to focus on retaining his FIFA Council position after he was first elected in September.

Both the CAF and FIFA elections are billed for March next year.

It is believed Pinnick spend more than $400,000 in his election to be NFF president in September 2014 with one of the candidates Dominic Iorfa alleging that he bought his way to power.

Pinnick’s personal fortune is well known.

The brother-in-law of former Delta State Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, he was for eight years sports commissioner of the oil rich state as well as for many more years chairman of the Delta State FA.

The Arsenal fan also runs successful marine and event businesses.

Amos Adamu’s successful election to the CAF executive committee in 2002 was supported by the federal government.

He was Delta state Commissioner for Sports and also was FA Chairman at different times when his brother in law was governor, so he likely got a lot 'unpaid' loans from the state

The same guy is talking on channels about lack of funds.

I can run the NFF better. The first thing I will do is hire a consultant to advise me how can we run the NFF at the lowest cost possible. I will then look at ways to increase revenue. Will not take part in every FIFA event. Will cut staff and unnecessary travel. Certainly will not spend $1 million on a CAF campaign. NFF will be ran like a true business. No more estocade, no more jamborees.

Not the same, he is spending money on his personal ambitions. NFF need major restructuring. We probably can run the NFF by reducing the staff by 80 percent. All that technical committee meetings that cost money must go.

Using part of the money that the Pinnick family stole from Delta State government coffers.

If you need a consultant to recommend to you what is blindingly obvious, I'd rather have the Pinnick I know.

Thank yo very much!

EFCC should open and set up shop to do their job on the Pinnick family regarding Delta State stolen funds.

Bros, your thought process is why we hardly run successful enterprises. You actually need Business Efficiency experts to help you turn around a chronically inefficient system. You can also develop a revenue sharing structure with them so they can package the NFF into a commercially viable entity.

The folks who can help you don't work for free.

Pinnick was negotiating some of the so-called deals himself. He does not have the skill set to undertake such responsibilities. Even here in the States, attorneys always hire outside counsel. It is not an indictment on their own abilities... rather, it is easier to hold someone you are paying accountable. Set benchmarks and hold them accountable.

If something like the kit sponsorship deal was outsourced to companies/agencies/people with a history of negotiating such deals, we would have gotten a better deal.

Pinnick with FIFA SecGen

...that is how thievery, broad day light stealing is encouraged in Africa. Did she even ask him what and why the women champions of the continent were short changed.

mcal,

TBH, I am not sure the NFF is solely responsible for the women not being paid. Remember that those funds as budgeted come from the FGN through the Sports Ministry. The question of those funds must be addressed to both the Ministry and the NFF.

Yes it is obvious, but how do you implement the changes. Who is going look through all of the NFF documents and etc.

I don't know everything. You need advisers, consultants.
