NFF President Amaju Pinnick was seen hobnobbing with world football stars yesterday at the Best FIFA Football Awards 2017 in London.
Although no Nigerian football player was nominated on the night, it has been a good year for Nigerian football, having qualified for the world cup in Russia early, with a game to spare; thus making Pinnick one of the most successful football administrators in recent times.
As the NFF President, his photo op with Lionel Messi of Argentina and Barcelona cannot cause a furore- unlike Governor Wike of Rivers State whose photo with Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid stars was widely criticized recently.
