Keshi didn’t show respect -Maigari (He paid you back in your own coin)

Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Aminu Maigari, has said that he has not spoken to Stephen Keshi since the coach announced his shock resignation on Monday evening. Keshi dropped the bombshell during a radio show on Monday in Johannesburg, and Maigari implied that the coach did not show respect.

“I was as surprised as anybody else to hear that he had resigned, because I never saw a letter from him. I employed him and there are processes in place for doing things. “If he wanted to resign, he should have shown me respect by informing me the proper way,” Maigari said. Despite Keshi, having met with the Sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi, into the early hours before agreeing to rescind his decision, Maigari said that he had not spoken to the coach. “I haven’t talked to him.

If he has something to tell me, he should come and tell me.” Abdullahi, however, said that he spoke to Maigari before going into his meeting with Keshi. All three were on the same charter flight that took the team to Abuja, but Keshi and most NFF officials avoided each other all the way to boarding. Abdullahi admits that some friction remains, but says there will be time to resolve all that.

“This is not the time for that. For now, we have resolved the issue and he will be staying. After the reception, we will sit down and sort things out. “Obviously, there are certain things that weren’t handled properly, but we will have plenty of time to sort them out,” the minister said.
