Primate Ayodele tips Pinnick to land in FIFA

By George Aluo

Leader of Lagos based INRI Spiritual Evangelical Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has tipped NFF president, Amaju Melvin Pinnick to land at the FIFA Council when the elections are held next month.

The man of God who spoke last week in an exclusive chat with newstap.com.ng said the coast is spiritually clear for Pinnick to win the election, even as he urged Nigerians to give him the needed support.

Describing the NFF boss as a man with a lot of courage, Ayodele said he (Pinnick) would scale all the hurdles ahead of him to win the FIFA Council election.

In his words…”Pinnick is a man of courage. I see him realizing his dream of being a member of the FIFA Council. I am throwing my weight behind him with prayers and I urge Nigerian football stakeholders to do the same. Pinnick has made some mistakes in the past and the good thing is that he has made some corrections. I want us to rally round him and when he gets to FIFA, he should not only work for Nigeria but for the whole of Africa.”

On the Edo 2020 National Sports Festival, Primate Ayodele said the situation looks very dicey. He was however quick in charging Gov Godwin Obaseki to do everything possible to see that the event takes place insisting that after all Edo has put in, it would not be good if the Game fails to take place.

“Gov Obaseki is a man of his words, my appeal to him is to ensure Edo plays host to the nation despite the financial challenges the state is facing…”
