The controversy surrounding the sack of former
Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi is far from
over as new details revealed the mastermind
behind his disengagement.
According to the online news portal, Naij.com, a
very reliable top official of the Nigeria Football
Federation who spoke on condition of anonymity,
revealed the main person behind the former
Eagles captain’s sack.
It would be recalled that the NFF had been
finding it difficult to sack Keshi from his post due
to his godfather whom many believed was Ita
Ekpenyong, the former Director General of the
State Security Service, DSS.
Keshi was eventually ousted out of the Eagles job
a day after the former DG of the SSS was sacked
by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Naij.com further stated that the source alleged
that the Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir
El-Rufai was the one that gave the go ahead to
the NFF for Keshi's sack, assuring the football
house that they have the full suppor of the
Presidency.
The NFF had sacked former Super Eagles coach,
Stephen Keshi because of what they referred to as
a “lack of commitment and trust”.
The NFF stated that Keshi applied for the then
vacant head coach job in the Ivory Coast FA
whilst still on engagement with the NFF, a move
which was against the two years contract which
Keshi signed with the NFF in April 2015.
