Chris Green Denies Plan To Hammer Stephen Keshi

The chairman of the Nigeria Football Federation Disciplinary Committee, has said that he doesn't have a personal beef for the Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi, claiming that he's only carrying out the federation's assignment.

The former NFF VP disclosed that the the first investigation has been completed but insists that he won't be able to comment on the issue at this current stage.

“We have done the first case [concerning Super Eagles Captain Vincent Enyeama]. We have sent the first case back to the Nigeria Football Federation. It’s an internal matter that is happening internally. The NFF has the internal mechanism to deal with such matters.

“The other matter [on Keshi] is before me so I can’t speak on it for now.

“This is not a personal matter; it is a Federation matter. So anybody that says I have an axe to grind with Keshi doesn’t really know what they are saying.

“What axe to grind I ask? What has he done to me? If I have an axe to grind with him we won’t hear it. He has not done anything wrong with me now. So it is unfounded.

“I have not quarreled with him. I have a good relationship with him. He is our coach and he remains our coach and I want him to be our coach. I am one of those who endorsed him as our coach so what else are we saying?

Green further claimed that the Enyeama-Security claims has been treated internally but the media has given unnecessary attention to the case.

“Like I told you the Vincent Enyeama issue is an internal matter. It’s the press that is blowing the case out of proportion,” Green disclosed. Goal
