President Goodluck Jonathan has been blamed for Super Eagles’ failure to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea. Why? One time Chairman of the NFF, Anthony Kojo Williams said Jonathan’s directive to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to reverse Keshi’s sack last month, created a mess.
He spoke to Vanguard Sports: “The one person who created this mess is the President. It was wrong of him to recall Keshi when he was told to go by the NFF. We do not know if Nigeria would have qualified under the consortium of coaches led by Shaibu Amodu but that infamous decision to recall Keshi was responsible for our failure as the latter became bigger than the NFF as he was no longer answerable to them again”.
Of the Amaju Pinnick-led NFF board, Kojo Williams was quoted as saying:“The NFF as presently led by Amaju Pinnick has been caged. Those guys do not have the guts to stand on their decision. It is most shameful and disgusting that they have accepted responsibility for Keshi’s failure to qualify for the Nations Cup.
“When Siasia failed to qualify the Eagles for the Nations Cup in 2012, he was sacked. So why are they afraid to sack Keshi after he failed to qualify us for Equatorial Guinea 2015? I am totally shocked with what is going on. I am tired of this country.
“I expected Pinnick and his board to have resigned when the President overturned their decision to sack Keshi because they are the ones running our football, not our President, who has a lot on his hands to deal with. They should have stuck to their ground and told the President why they sacked Keshi but all of them, simply kept quiet and look at the mess that came out of that decision”.
