Amaju Pinnick: I’m not desperate for CAF presidency

Amaju Pinnick: I’m not desperate for CAF presidency
An Abuja High Court yesterday finally declined to join the names of President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick and the General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi to a case of financial misappropriation brought before it by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, says he is not desperate to occupy the office of Confederation of African Footbal (CAF) president.

Applications to contest in March, 2021 elections are already open and will close on November 12.

The truth is that you need to look at indexes, you have to look at your family – family is the most prized asset that I have – so for example if my family said “don’t” then I won’t,” Pinnick told BBC Sport Africa.

“Then you have your larger family which is your football family – your exco, your congress – if they decide to give you the go-ahead then you go to the government.

“Then from the government, you also look at some of your friends – it is not easy you have to consult your zone – you have to consult your colleagues because they are the voters.

“You have to let them know that even if you get elected, we will need to look at the reality.

“What is the reality? There are a lot of things wrong fundamentally in Caf right now – our credibility is at the lowest ebb our integrity is nowhere to be found – so we have a lot of challenges unless we keep deceiving ourselves.

“Human beings make mistakes and the only way you can correct those mistakes is to ensure that you know you have made these mistakes and genuinely want to correct it if that’s the case we can’t sit there and do nothing.

“Nobody is in a hurry. I am not desperate, I am going to be just 50 in December so there is a lot of time for me if I want to pursue a career path in football administration in the future.”
