Gusau<\/a> had on 30 September in Benin City won the presidential election at the NFF Elective General Assembly.<\/p>\nAdemola Olajire, the Federation\u2019s Director of Communications, disclosed in a statement that the handover ceremony took place at the NFF Conference Room at the Sunday Dankaro House.<\/p>\n
Mr Olajire listed as being present at the ceremony NFF Executive Committee members such as Yusuf Ahmed, Aisha Falode, Essien Udofot and Sharif Inuwa.<\/p>\n
Others at the event included NFF General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, Deputy General Secretary Emmanuel Ikpeme, as well as other management staff.<\/p>\n
Mr Olajire stated that Pinnick, while handing over, charged the Federation\u2019s management and other staff to give Gusau and his team maximum support, just as they gave him and his team.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thank you for your loyalty and support in the past eight years, and the encouragement and support of the Executive Committee that I worked with.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was an awesome experience all through and I give God the glory. Football is the winner.<\/p>\n
\u201cI ask for the forgiveness of all those that I might have offended one way or the other, and I crave your support for the new team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe General Secretary is a formidable individual, a great administrator and a good man at heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is a man capable of stabilising the new Executive Committee. I have no doubt that alongside other members of management and staff, they will propel Nigerian football to new heights,\u201d Pinnick was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n
Mr Olajire also quoted him as saying that he remained a part of the system and would still be available to offer advice and suggestions whenever such was sought.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a FIFA Council Member, I am technically in charge of 22 countries, including Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will always do my best to protect and project the interests of Nigeria at all times.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy administration gave its all and raised funds for the programmes of the NFF and the national teams, and built discipline within the national teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, I see the new administration surpassing whatever we achieved. The new President is a strategist who is humble, dynamic, and innovative.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gusau, on his part, lauded Pinnick, saying the warm relationship between the old and new guard was a reflection of the wonderful relationship forged among members within eight years.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe assure you (Pinnick), that we will always reach out to you for your advice and encouragement whenever the need arises.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wish you the very best in your duties and tasks at FIFA and CAF,\u201d he had said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
