Super Eagles out of contract coach, Stephen
Keshi, has apologized to Nigerians for any
misunderstanding that may have occurred in the
discharge of his duties.
He has also clarified that he has no problem with
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President,
Amaju Pinnick, or any other principal staff of the
federation. Speaking through his agent,
Emmanuel Ado, Keshi said any perceived
“problem, whether real or imagined,” between
them would always be resolved amicably in the
interest of the game and the country they both
love.
“Keshi has always related well with Pinnick as a
brother and as Chairman of the Delta State
Sports Commission before now. The chairman’s
passion and achievements over the years bear
eloquent testimony to what he is capable of
replicating in his new job at the NFF.
After the 2013 Nations Cup, Amaju was
instrumental to Delta State Government hosting
the team and the renaming of the Asaba
township stadium after Stephen Keshi,” said Ado.
According to Ado, “the lessons of the last few
months is that united we win and divided we fail.
Allow me to state unequivocally that there will
always be differences, but it is how these
differences are managed that is critical. So
moving forward. I expect that the board, the
media, the fans and the coach would continue to
rub minds on issues that will help our football,
but once the coach takes a decision he should
be supported.”
Ado further described as unfortunate the story
that Keshi called the president of the federation
a liar, saying, “Keshi is ever decorous and will
never use such words for the president of the
federation.
He is too cultured to use such a word. “Those
who profit from sensationalism as a way of life,
create chaos by “twisting facts out of context
only to suit their own purpose.
“The other unfortunate story that I have read is
that Keshi was behind the arrest and detention
of the former President Alhaji Aminu Maigari.
This is a blatant lie. Who is Keshi to order his
arrest? The truth is that Keshi visited Maigari
and prayed for his release. And Maigari was also
instrumental in him becoming the chief coach of
the Super Eagles.
“In a similar vein, I want to on behalf of Keshi
apologize to all Nigerians and most especially
the fans for the failure of the Super Eagles to
qualify for the 2015 edition. There were problems
that contributed to the failure of the team to
qualify for Equatorial Guinea, which by the Grace
of God has been largely resolved.”
On the issue of the NFF reportedly offering his
client a “slave contract,” Ado explained that he
was the one who made the statement in the
context of reports that “Keshi was going to sign
the contract without negotiations.”
