Vested interests ruining Eagles -Pinnick

In from Nifemi Daniel ..

Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick, has revealed there are several cabals in the Super Eagles which has resulted to the disunity of the players and has affected their performance in recent times.

Pinnick while speaking during a television programme on Monday also frowned at the indisciplined attitude of the players.

“I noticed that the players are not friends, there are various cliques and all of these stuff,” revealed Pinnick. They should love themselves.

“There is a level of indiscipline and this has a negative impact on the performance of the team.”

He added that the NFF frowns at the latest cases of indiscipline involving skipper Vincent Enyeama and Ogenyi Onazi.

Onazi was fined $5,000 for his sending off against Chad in an AFCON qualifier and Enyeama will on Tuesday face the NFF disciplinary committee after his statement questioning the safety of Kaduna for the match.

“Will you do that at your club?” he asked about the needless red card Onazi bagged.

“Enyeama made careless and provocative statements about Kaduna and we felt very bad about it. It cost us as it heightened the security situation in Kaduna.”
