Nigeria’s Amaju Melvin Pinnick, is one of the 14 football administrators from Africa gunning for the six seats allotted to the continent in the 37-member FIFA Council at today’s CAF elections in Rabat, Morocco.
Before arriving in the North African city for the election on Monday, Pinnick took his campaign round key figures in African football to ensure he comes out victorious to become the third Nigerian ever to occupy that seat after the late Etubom Oyo Orok Oyo and Dr Amos Adamu took their turns on that exalted position.
Of course, the Delta-born Pinnick who is serving his first term as a CAF Executive Committee member, appears to understand the undercurrent of global football politics and the many banana peels everywhere.
