Nigeria’s minister for sports, Solomon Dalong has described as fake, a purported video of Super Eagles head coach, Sunday Oliseh described an inquiry to his coaching methods as insane.
In the video, Oliseh had slammed the Nigerian Football Federation,
the media, and most stakeholders in the Super Eagles after he was
criticized following Nigeria’s first round exit in the Cup of Home-Based
African Nations.
However, Dalung has stated that he doesn’t believe Oliseh was the one in the video, claiming it was a manipulation. Dalong
said to reporters: “They (NFF) brought the issue of YouTube where
Oliseh was alleged to have insulted Nigerians and said he should be made
to apologise.”
“I said YouTube? and wondered why Nigerians in the
21st Century are using YouTube to analyse someone’s behaviour, when in
this era of technology, they can get the picture of a lady and use it to
match their own and they will develop something and put on line.
“I
looked at that video and the quantum of how it was fluctuating
convinced me that it was an act of manipulation. That is my judgment and
I am free to hold this opinion,” the minister added.
“NFF
should look at issues we need to address, instead of being fixated with
wanting to sack Oliseh and hiring another coach, who will soon be
sacked,” Dalong continued.
“After sacking that one, we will embark
on the journey of looking for another one and then we will be thinking
of sacking NFF because it is a sack game; because they have failed and
we will hold them responsible as the one that employed coaches. That is
what I am avoiding.”
