The Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy<\/a>, Gbenga Omotosho, on Sunday declared that the state was in support \u00a0of Seyi Akinwunmi\u2019s ambition to become \u00a0president of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).<\/p>\n

Omotosho said this in an interview with our correspondent on the sidelines of the media briefing of Akinwunmi\u2019s presidential bid held at Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre, Alausa, Lagos.<\/p>\n

Reports have it that the NFF 1st Vice President, Akinwunmi, has declared to run for the presidency scheduled for Friday, Sept. 30, in Benin-City, Edo State.<\/a><\/p>\n

Akinwunmi is hoping to take over the baton from the incumbent, Amaju Pinnick, who came into office eight years ago<\/p>\n

Talking on the support for Akinwunmi, \u00a0who is also the Chairman, Lagos State Football Association (LSFA), Omotosho said it was for the good of Nigerian football.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe support for Akinwunmi is not just for Lagosians, but it is for all lovers of football all over Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerians have great passion for football and it must be administered by people of integrity and people who can see into the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want improvement in our football, so everyone not just Lagosians are in full support of Akinwunmi because of his credentials.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people have described Akinwunmi\u2019s \u00a0credentials as intimidating, but I will just say that it is putting a round peg in a round hole,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
