Stephen Keshi who will soon return as Super Eagles coach has apologised to Nigerians for failing to qualify for the 2015 Arican Cup of Nations

Nigerian coach, Stephen Keshi has finally apologised to the country after failing to qualify the Super Eagles for the 2015 African Nations Cup hosted by Equatorial Guinea.

The Super Eagles under the stewardship of the Delta State born coach did not qualify for the African Nation to defend their 2013 title.

The coach however was offered another contract by the Nigeria Football Federations which have been finally agreed after months of negotiations.

Speaking on behalf of coach Stephen Keshi, his agent Emmanuel Ado apologised to the Nigerian people for failing to lead the Super Eagles to the African Cup of Nations.

“I want to on  behalf of Keshi apologize to all Nigerian  and most especially the fans for the failure of the Super Eagles to qualify for the 2015 edition,”Ado is quoted to have said to the media by Goal.

“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. We ask for forgiveness and support for the team to ensure that they get back to their winning ways.

“Everyone has realized that the deliberate falsehoods planted in the media by enemies of progress who believe they are helping both men, is a big disservice to the image of both men and the federation.

Speaking to reporters, Emmanuel Ado also said that the differences between the coach and the NFF will be resolved amicably.

“Keshi has always related well with Amaju 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,” Ado is quoted to have said to the media by Goal.

“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.

“This is contrary to insinuations being made in some quarters, that Keshi and Amaju  can never work together.

“For the information of all, both men understand that in the interest of Nigerian football they must work together to move Nigeria football forward. The lessons of the last few months is that united we win and divided we fail.”
