| Coach Kadiri Ikhana |
An impeccable source quotes the former Enyimba
tactician as saying that CAF worked against Nigeria at the female football
championship held in Equatorial Guinea and won by the hosts on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the NFF is set to fire Ikhana. According
to top officials of the national football body, the coach’s ineptitude has
caused the country so much shame.
Speaking after the team lost out on Sunday, NFF
technical subcommittee member, Paul Bassey announced that the committee wants
nothing to do with the coach and in fact considered him already sacked.
“Technically, he (Ikhana) has no job. I am
apologizing to Nigerians on behalf of the technical subcommittee for putting
them through this,” Bassey told a radio programme broadcast on Monday.
Further reports indicated on Monday that Ikhana
will be forced to resign by the NFF, but this stand was negated by Bassey who argued
that Ikhana had that opportunity after the defeat to South Africa but chose not
to take it and thus, stands removed from his position until it is officially
confirmed.
Bassey argued that the NFF’s only blame was not
replacing Ikhana before the AWC when it was discovered it made a mistake
appointing him.
NFF board member, Effiong Johnson also confirmed
that Ikhana would get nothing but a push to the exit. Johnson, who was enraged
at the team’s performance, noted that the technical subcommittee should start
looking for a new coach immediately.
