Amaju Pinnick
President of Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick , says he is not desperate to contest for the presidency of the Confederation of African Football , adding that he is yet to take a decision on gunning for the continent ’ s top football job .
Speaking to our correspondent after the unveiling of the official logo and brand ambassadors of the National Principals ’ Cup at the Eko Hotel and Suites , Victoria Island, Lagos on Monday , Pinnick said consultations were ongoing to determine if he would contest .
“ I’ m still consulting because the CAF presidency is not a cup of tea , ” the NFF president said .
“ You have to ask God for direction , ask your wife because she is also a boss and if she says no it is a no . You have to ask your children , who are your immediate family , then the extended family who are the football family , the ( NFF ) Technical Committee, the ( NFF ) congress , political stakeholders . “ After you must have gotten endorsement, you have to go to the ( sports ) ministry , the Presidency , and from there I need to inform my zone because I’ m in WAFU B, I will also have to talk to my friends .
“ We are on all those things and if it works out it is fine but if it doesn ’ t I might find myself with the FIFA Council. We are not doing it out of desperation but there are a lot of things people would not understand. ”
