BY ALIYU NASIR KANKARA IN KATSINA.
Like Amajuoritse Pinnick, Seyi Akinwunmi, a lawyer and a passionate grassroots football developer has also retained his senior vice president seat on the board of Nigeria Football Federation.
For his passion for the youths, he could be likened to “Baba Ewe”, the Father of the Youth.

It was a landslide 41-2 win. One vote was invalidated
