Former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president, Amaju Pinnick, is gearing up for a fierce battle to retain his seat on the 37-member FIFA Council during the 14th Extraordinary General Assembly of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in Cairo, Egypt, Today Wednesday, March 12.

Pinnick, who is highly favored to keep his position, will face stiff competition from nine other candidates, including Morocco’s Fouzi Lekjaa and Egypt’s Hany Abou Rida, for the five available seats. Africa holds seven seats on the FIFA Council, with one automatically reserved for the CAF President and another for a female representative.

The Nigerian Government has strongly backed Pinnick’s candidacy, with National Sports Commission Chairman Shehu Dikko and Director-General Hon. Bukola Olopade attending the elections in Cairo. NFF President Ibrahim Musa Gusau, who arrived in Cairo on Sunday with NFF General Secretary Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, will cast Nigeria’s vote.

In the female category, CAF’s 5th Vice President, Kanizat Ibrahim (Comoros Islands), will contest against Isha Johansen (Sierra Leone) for the reserved seat. Each of the 54 CAF Member Associations will cast five votes in the male category and one vote in the female category.

The CAF Executive Committee elections have seen less competition due to zonal arrangements, except in Southern Africa (COSAFA), where four candidates will compete for two available seats. Cameroonian legend Samuel Eto’o is the sole candidate for the Central African (UNIFFAC) region, along with representatives from WAFU A, WAFU B, and UNAF zones. Congolese Bestine Kazadi is set to claim the only uncontested female seat on the CAF Executive Committee.
