President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, has claimed that he missed the burial of former Super Eagles captain and coach, Stephen Keshi, because he was unwell.
Keshi was buried in his home town in Illah, Delta State on Friday, with some key dignitaries from the football house missing.
Pinnick is one of the officials that has come under criticisms, but he insists that he was very involved with the arrangements and only missed the burial because of sickness.
“It’s really sad the way we just use extreme languages. Right from the moment he passed, I have been actively involved greatly,” Pinnick wrote in response to a jibe on Twitter.
“I followed the motorcade from the morgue to the church in Benin. I was at the service throughout. I followed the motorcade to the stadium. I was there again throughout again.
“I did a two and half hour journey to Asaba. I did the entire programme with them. I had a private meeting with the family to reappraise plans.
“I woke the next morning unwell, threw up. On my way to Illah, I was struggling but had to reverse immediately, I got a member to leave Port Harcourt to attend which he did.
“You people should kindly find out the role I and the NFF played from his death to date.”

DeleteWhere exactly would you like me to market your words? Is alaba market ok? Or maybe Idumota?
DeleteOkay Oga , get well soon! But when FIFA president visited, you were 100% fit!
ReplyDeleteLies,lies, Lies... NFF is not just made up of Pinnik alone. It's a board made up of a number of people. So was he the only one that was suppose to have attended. NFF should have sent a delegation and he couldn't even mention the name of the member that represented him. Bloody liar..... May God punish you all for trying to insult our intelligence.

ReplyDeleteNoted
ReplyDeleteAmaju is a very restless selfish man that don't have respect for anybody except those he's looking to gain something from, can't imagine how he'll cope when finally out of NFF as president... shame on you for not honouring Keshi!!!!
ReplyDeleteAmaju shoot that your smelling loose mouth before thunder fire you... he's not sick saw him on Friday.. liar!!!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is that your turn will come and you will never be honor! Remember today's date Amaju
ReplyDeleteA shame he didn't attend the burial
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Most people that have anything to do with another's death dont usually attend the burials of the victims. Especially if they have not fortified themselves to prepare for it.
ReplyDeleteHmmm
*just musing out loud.
In otherwords , Amaju killed him Abi?
DeleteIf na FIFA president come ,e go well.
ReplyDeleteWho nor know Amaju go believe. He only deals where things are happening.
ReplyDeleteMr Amaju you should have honour him and attend because we all at every point need moral support without any political or financial gain
ReplyDeleteVery profound!!!!
DeleteWhat will Amaju gain from the burial? nigga is not wired like that you only see him where he's trying to chase money.. he only make fair weather friends, friends with benefit, people him alone can gain from not other way round.... Continue to rest in peace Keshi
