Ex-Eaglets star Ojigwe to contest in NFF Elections
Paschal Karibe Ojigwe has become the latest ex-Super Eagles player to declare interest run for a position during the 2022 NFF Elective Congress slated for Benin City, Edo State, on September 30, 2022.
But unlike his ex-Super Eagles teammates duo of Peterside Idah and Benedict Akwuegbu who are interested in succeeding Amaju Pinnick as President of NFF, Ojigwe wants to contest for a seat on the Executive Board of the Nigeria Football Federation.
He will slug it out with former Super Eagles Defender and current Anambra FA Chairman Chikelue Iloenyosi for the sole seat reserved for the South-East in the NFF Board.
The Japan 1993 FIFA U-17 World Cup winner with Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets has already picked the NFF Elections forms to formalise his candidature.
He is currently the Commissioner for Sports in Abia State.
Ojigwe, 45, says he if elected to the Executive Board of the NFF, would work hard towards ensuring that grassroots football development takes centre stage.
