“I personally apologised to Nigerians for the inability of
the Super Eagles to qualify for the campaign to AFCON.
We must plan better again.
“We have no good reason not to qualify if we had
planned well and also organise ourselves rather it was
crisis all the way rocking NFF.
“After this abysmal performance at AFCON qualifiers it’s important we return to the drawing board to plan the future of football in Nigeria.
“Nigerians cannot accept any reason for failure from
anybody so we either deliver or we give way to those
who can deliver success.”
