AMAJU PINNICK’S SECRET PLAN TO CONVINCE AND BEG FA CHAIRMEN FOR TENURE EXTENSION HAS BEEN UNCOVERED.

The latest move by embattled NFF President Amaju Pinnick to see through his third term ambition has been exclusively uncovered .

Despite Pinnick’s public denial that he is not interested in doing third term, the Delta state born administrator has continued to show a different body language to desperately hold on to power.

Pinnick has been very scared to call the Congress of the NFF for the past few weeks, since the bayelsa court case preventing the election was withdrawn.

In what is now Pinnick’s latest trick, the NFF boss has invited some FA Chairmen to Morocco ,venue of the ongoing Africa women championship.

To be precise , about six FA Chairmen including that of Edo, Jigawa, Osun, Taraba and Gombe are currently parking their bags to travel to Morocco on Thursday.

However Osun and Taraba FA bosses might not go.

Pinnick has concluded plans to beg them to extend his tenure beyond September when he is expected to bid goodbye to the Glass House.

Pinnick wants to tell them to extend it till January for whatever reasons he is planning, which offcourse is to continue to buy time to be able to contest.

Meanwhile keen followers of the Statutes of the NFF have laughed over this latest plan , maintaining that the statute at no point give any power to the Congress to extend the tenure of any President beyond his tenure.

They said the statute only give the Congress power to call for Election and Pinnick might have taken another wrong step in his desperate bid to sit tight as NFF boss.
