I’m ready to initiate reforms for true reconciliation – Pinnick

President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick has disclosed that he would initiate reforms that would help to reflect true reconciliations.

He stated this on Thursday after being declared the winner of the NFF Presidential election held in Katsina State, where he polled 34 votes to beat strong contestants such as Maigari and Ogunjobi who had eight and two votes respectively.

“Like I said, no victor there’s no vanquished, football is the winner, Aminu Maigari is my big brother. I even call him my father and Taiwo Ogunjobi happens to be a big brother as well. We just need to do what we need to do,” Pinnick told journalists after his re-election.

“First we will initiate reforms for our statutes. There are something we need to capture in the statutes that will reflect true reconciliations and we have to do it right away. It’s not about me, but the executive committee and the congress that believe in us.

“But I will also want to thank the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for providing an enabling environment. I’m from a micro minority in Nigeria less than 400,000 people. I came to the far North to win an election what more do you need to know that the government provided a level playing ground.

“This election rekindles my belief in Nigeria and what this has done is compelling us to do something unique for Nigerian football.

“This is the turning point for Nigerian football. But people must be aware that we need to develop football beyond mediocrity, the narrow confines of ethnicity, non challant attitude.”
