Super Eagles assistant coach and Enugu Rangers head coach, Imama Amapakabo, has disclosed that that there's no truth whatsoever in the report that claimed he was sent off from the national team camp in Uyo.
Nigeria will face Tanzania this weekend in the final group G game of the 2017 African Cup of nations at the Akwa Ibom international stadium.
"There is no truth in the report that I was told to leave the camp. On Tuesday, the Technical Adviser (Gernot Rohr) arrived camp and held a first meeting with everyone in camp, in a wonderful atmosphere."
“He preached team spirit and insisted each and every person in camp is important."
"After the day’s training, I went to meet him for permission to travel to Enugu and lead my team against MFM FC in a rescheduled NPFL match on Wednesday. He saw the need for me to be there and wished me good luck."
"The TA (technical adviser) also told me that it was important I returned to camp immediately after the match.”
Rohr, who had earlier declared his readiness to work with Nigerian indigenous coaches in order to leave a useful and positive legacy at the expiration of his contract, corroborated Amapakabo’s statement.
“I never dismissed him. Rather, I was excited that we have a member of the technical crew doing so well with his club and I have heard many people say Rangers have a good chance of winning the League, and I know it is a great club with a great tradition.
“He (Amapakabo) told me it was important for him to go as three points from there would see his team topping the table, with few matches left in the season. You can only encourage such a person.
Team official Dayo Enebi Achor confirmed thenff.com that former Nigeria junior international Amapakabo is being expected back at the team’s Le Meridien Hotel in Uyo on Thursday morning.
