The president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick says he will be stepping down from his role when his tenure expires next month.
Pinnick has been rumoured to be interested in pushing for a third term in office and last week said he is considering the option. The negative reaction to his statement appears to have forced him into having a rethink.
Speaking on Arise TV this morning, Pinnick who is also a member of the CAF Executive Committee said he isn’t going to be standing for re-election when he was asked if he has the intention of running for a third term.
“It is fine, I am done. There are so many Nigerians that are capable of being there (NFF President). I will assist and work with anyone who wins the elections,” Pinnick said.
“I will work with whoever emerges as NFF President. That i promise. I will intervene but will not interfere,” Pinnick concluded.
