The President’s support for the county’s candidate for re-election was contained via a statement issued by his spokesman, Chief Ajuri Ngelale.

The Council comprises 37 members elected by the FIFA Congress for a renewable term of four years.
Mr. Amaju Pinnick, two-term President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), was elected into the Council in March 2021 – the third Nigerian after the late Oyo Orok Oyo and Dr. Amos Adamu.
