Reactions as Pinnick says he is NFF’s ‘life president’



Amaju Pinnick is under fire from Nigerians on social media after he described himself as the “life president” of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

 

Pinnick was on a segment of ‘This Morning Show’ on Arise TV when he made the declaration.

 

“I can call and talk to the players. I don’t wait. To me, I’m the life president of the Nigerian Football Federation. So, I can also speak. I’m a very critical stakeholder,” he said.

 

“Whatever will make this country a greater country is what I stand for any day.”

 

Pinnick is an aide to Patrice Motsepe, CAF president, and was a two-term president of the NFF before he was replaced by Ibrahim Gusau in 2022.

 

Pinnick’s comment stirred reactions among Nigerians on social media, particularly on X.

 

Uche, X user, said the former NFF president’s declaration is “another level of hubris”.

 

 

Davies, another X user, added that given Pinnick’s self-styled role, he is “culpable” in Nigeria failing to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
