The former Eagles’ captain warned that Nigeria, Africa’s biggest football nation, risks missing the World Cup for a second time in a row.
Despite these challenges, the Super Eagles remain in a strong position in their AFCON qualifying group.
In a statement on Tuesday, presidential media aide Ajuri Ngelale said that President Tinubu supported Nigeria’s bid to retain its seat in the council.
Pinnick is the first and only NFF president that failed to qualify the Super Eagles for AFCON, back-to-back.
Mr Pinnick said Air Peace chairman Allen Onyema’s speech on patriotism inspired the Super Eagles victory.
