Stephen Keshi Remains Eagles Coach, Insists Chris Giwa'snff by engrsoma(m): 7:05pm On Oct 17, 2014
The factional leader of the Nigeria Football Federation has insisted the 'Big Boss' is still in charge of the country's senior national team
Factional president of the Nigeria Football Federation, Chris Giwa has
condemned the decision of the Amaju Pinnick-led NFF board to sack Super Eagles' caretaker coach Stephen Keshi and ordered his stay.

Keshi was relieved of his job as Super Eagles' coach by the Pinnick-led
NFF on Thursday morning with Amodu Shuaibu named as replacement.
In a communiqué made available to Goal after its emergency meeting
held at Bolingo hotel, Abuja, the Giwa-led NFF group insisted Keshi and his crew will remain in the interest of continuity and described the
Pinnick-led board as illegal.

"The board resolved after hearing that some people are parading
themselves as the NFF board, decided to sack the technical crew of the
Super Eagles at a very critical moment," the statement read.
"We condemn the act and hereby state that Stephen Keshi remains the
head coach of the senior national team and the technical crew remains
intact. We condemn the acts of impostors parading themselves as such.
"That the board stated that there are two more games to be played
against Congo Republic and South Africa ahead of Nigeria’s qualification for the African Nations Cup finals in 2015 in Morocco.

Emphasis is supposed to be on concentration for the two games rather than sacking and hiring of new technical managers at this critical time.
Giwa also rejected the committees constituted by Amaju-led board and announced the re-appointment of Musa Amadu as the Secretary General of the NFF.

"The board nullifies all committees appointed by the said illegal NFF
board and has appointed Secretary General of the NFF Musa Amadu to
oversee the affairs of all committees of the NFF. This shall be named in days.

"Barrister Amadu is to work with secretaries of committees who are
staffers of the NFF earlier set up by the Aminu Maigari board and as
approved by the NFF statutes pending the end of the football season.
"The secretaries are to report to Musa Amadu until new committees are
set up. The board warns people who are used to disregarding valid court
orders especially the one which recognised the 26th August election as
valid pending the hearing of the substantive matter before it.
"Nigerians have been enjoined to remain calm. No tension in this pensive mood. The Federal High Court Jos is very clear about the orders of his court on the 19th September 2014. In the eye of the law, no other board apart from ours exists in the eye of the law," it concluded.
