Former Super Eagles captain Segun Odegbami says the possibility of a Southerner replacing Amaju Pinnick as the next president of the Nigeria Football Federation “will be so difficult.”

A new president will be elected in an Elective Congress of the federation in Benin on September 30, 2022, with Seyi Akinwumi, the NFF First Vice President, Shehu Dikko, the NFF Second Vice President, Ibrahim Gusau, the chairman of the current executive committee of the NFF and the Chairman of Zamfara State Football Association, Dr.

Of those angling for the coveted seat, only three are from the north with the remaining being southerners. However, on Tuesday, Odegbami speaking on TVC, noted that it would be difficult for those Southerners to win the election because of the Nigerian ethnic sentiment, which he said would play a huge role in the emergence of the successor and bribery.
