The choice of who will be the government-anointed candidate for the position of president of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has been narrowed down to just two names, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Following the resignation of Ibrahim Musa Gusau, the NFF board of directors, fresh elections will be held for the football house seats by a normalization committee that will run Nigerian football for three months.
In the run-up to the proceedings, we can exclusively reveal that former NFF president Amaju Pinnick, who was under consideration for a comeback, has been removed from the options.
Two names are heavily favored from the South West, with a new name emerging to challenge the overwhelming initial election for the presidency and the National Sports Commission (NSC).
Although both are the projected and presented favorites for the presidency, former Super Eagles midfielder Seyi Olofinjana is the idea of certain interests in the NSC.
It is very likely that if he is not appointed president, he will replace Austine Eguavoen as technical director of the NFF.
