President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the reinstatement of
Former Super Eagles manager Stephen Keshi to oversee the two remaining 2015
Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches.
The President was believed to have given the orders during
his meeting with the bosses (Chris Giwa and Amaju Pinnick) of the two warring
factions of the Nigeria Football Federation at the Aso Rock Villa yesterday
where he asked them to resolve all issues between them by next week and should be
sent a report.
Jonathan at the said meeting also asked Chris Giwa to vacate
the court case in Jos, Plateau State, and ordered the immediate return of Keshi
who has endeared the President since his nations cup win last year.
It remains to be seen whether the former Togolese manager
would accept the invitation to go back to a job he said had given him serious
headaches in the last few months. The gaffer threw a sharp parting shot by
calling Nigeria “an unserious football country” after his departure earlier
this month.
The Super Eagles will face Congo and South Africa next month
in the remaining matches that would determine whether the reigning African
champions would qualify for next year’s tournament.
