Brimming with smiles and looking unpertubed, Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi breezed into the NFF Secretariat at 11.50 am on Tuesday to answer a query over his application to become head coach of the Cote d’Ivoire national team despite being on a two-year contract with Nigeria.
On arrival, he proceeded straight to the Board Room of the NFF to meet with the Barrister Green-led NFF Disciplinary Committee.
The 1st Vice President of the Federation, Barrister Seyi Akinwumi had said Keshi has a case to answer and needs to explain how his name surfaced in the list of coaches to be recruited for the coaching job of the Elephants.
"Keshi has been queried and has to appear before the Disciplinary Committee of the NFF for allegedly applying for the Cote d' Ivoire national team job.
"Looking at it morally how will he (Keshi) feel if you see today in the newspapers advertisement for the Super Eagles' Chief Coach job. That is what he needs to explain.
"I heard that he said that he didn't apply so let him come and defend himself before the Disciplinary Committee.
"We cannot pre-judge him. Sometimes things are not as they seems to be. Maybe he (Keshi) didn't apply for the Cote d' Ivoire job. Maybe somebody just use his name. It could be anything. I think we should just wait till tomorrow (today) to hear what Keshi explanations would be.
"What is important is that we (the NFF) must give him fair hearing. He is a Nigerian and he is our coach. So let's give him fair hearing. Let him explain himself.
"The NFF President Amaju Pinnick has assured everyone and I am also assuring that we would be fair. We are not witch-hunting. If he is found not guilty tomorrow (today) we are moving on to the next plan of the Super Eagles. It is nothing personal but it is not right that we should see something like that and keep quiet. So it is not witch-hunting.”
Goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama is also expected to face the panel of enquiry after playing up security fears about Kaduna hosting the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game against Chad. However, he had not arrived at the NFF office in Abuja as at press time

Oboy sack this guy

If there is no letter with his signature on it and a recent date tying him to the offense then they should concentrate on their lives and leave the dude alone




He might have submitted an application when he was out of contract
