Amaju Pinnick is under fire from Nigerians on social media after he described himself as the “life president” of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Pinnick was on a segment of ‘This Morning Show’ on Arise TV when he made the declaration.
“I can call and talk to the players. I don’t wait. To me, I’m the life president of the Nigerian Football Federation. So, I can also speak. I’m a very critical stakeholder,” he said.
“Whatever will make this country a greater country is what I stand for any day.”
Pinnick is an aide to Patrice Motsepe, CAF president, and was a two-term president of the NFF before he was replaced by Ibrahim Gusau in 2022.
Pinnick’s comment stirred reactions among Nigerians on social media, particularly on X.
Uche, X user, said the former NFF president’s declaration is “another level of hubris”.
