Ayo Omidiran, a former member of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Executive Committee, says new FIFA Council member Amaju Pinnick should make his victory memorable and beneficial to Nigerians and Africans.
Omidiran, while speaking with newsmen on Monday in Abuja, said Pinnick should see his election as a collective victory for all Nigerians.
“Pinnick deserves to be a member of the FIFA Council and I believe his impact as a seasoned football administrator will come to bear in FIFA. I pray his time will be a memorable one for him and Nigeria.
“But my advice to him is to let his presence in the Council be felt by Nigerians and he should not relent in the football development stride he is known for,” the former House of Representatives member said.
“I hope his tenure in the FIFA Council will be a memorable one for football, Nigeria and for him especially” she added.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Pinnick was elected into the world football governing body’s highest decision-making body at the 43rd CAF General Assembly.
The event took place in Rabat, Morocco on Friday.
