After two rounds of voting, Amaju Pinnick has emerged as the new president of the Nigeria Football Federation.
Pinnick polled 32 votes in the second round of voting.
Two ex-internationals – Dominic Iorfa and Taiwo Ogunjobi – had six votes and four votes respectively.
In the first round of voting, Pinnick scored 25 votes, while Ogunjobi had nine votes; Irofa, six; and Amaze Uchegbulam, four.
This led to a call for a second round of voting for a winner to emerge via simple majority.
For the position of the First Vice President, Seyi Akinwunmi emerged the winner.
Akinwunmi scored 30 votes to defeat Adamu Shehu, eight votes; Emeka Inyama, four votes; and Sule Muazu, two.
For the position of the Second Vice President, Musa Gusau emerged unopposed.
