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.

so this means he stays. issorait

this kind of decision often come from individuals that reasons above the ordinary. If u can think again, u will see that keshi is the man that can take nigerian football to that promised land. Keshi is the man. Think well nigerians.

Chris giwa again, chai!!! fifa sanction is looming again

after keshi don enter im closet go cry finish, una cm de call am back..insane country.,insane pple.,including me

this is ridiculous. I think the media should stop
giving factions undue recognition. Take a Look
at the Nigerian Governors forum for
instance,the media gave Gov.Jonah jang, the
factional leader so much hype that almost
everyone thought he was the true chairman of
the Governor's forum. There are so many cases
like that in courts today that are yet to be
resolved and the only thing causing all this
issue is Money.

Hmm, na wa for 9ja

Two kings cannot rule a kingdom.

dis Chris giwa is high on weed
