Why we settled for Siasia - Lawal

Former Super Eagles versatile player and Nigeria Football Federation technical committee member Garba Lawal said Coach Samson Siasia was assigned to handle the senior national team after Sunday Oliseh’s resignation because other options aren’t available at this time.


In a chat with Fever Pitch yesterday, the ex Roda JC star added that it was unfortunate Oliseh’s situation with Eagles ended with a bitter taste saying his former teammate could’ve handled the situation better instead of resorting to rants and abuses.

“Where are the options at this time, none. So Siasia should help us navigate the two crucial Egypt games as we put heads together for a permanent solution but it’s unfortunate what happened with Oliseh, I wished he was more mature in his handling of situations and issues” Lawal said.

Meanwhile, Oliseh’s personal assistant Tijjani Babangida according to Africanfootball.com revealed that it was Herve Renard’s agent who informed the former gaffer that his client has been contacted by the Glass House in connection with the Nigeria coaching post.

“They were talking with Renard about him replacing Oliseh and it was his agent who told us,” said

Babangida, who was the ex-Eagles coach special assistant.
“The agent wondered what is wrong with the NFF,but he assured him Renard won’t be coming to Nigeria.”

The former Ajax Amsterdam flying winger also gave more graphic details of Oliseh’s frustrations when he was in charge of the Eagles.

“It was always going to end this way because he was disappointed his contract was violated and there were many problems at the CHAN and he was not supported,” he said.

“He planned to go and watch an interesting striker (Fanendo) Adi in the United States of America, but they did not approve it, claiming there is not money.

“They did not reply his emails and they kept insisting he attend the technical committee meeting in Abuja even when he had yet to compile his list of players for the Egypt matches.

“It was like, If he did not show up, they will sack him again after they recommended for his sack at their first meeting.”

Babangida said there was a more harmonious working relationship with former technical committee chairman Felix Anyansi-Agwu, but this changed for the worse when Chris Green was reappointed the committee’s boss last month.

“Anyansi could speak with Oliseh, he was a gentleman. It was not the case with Green,” he stated.

Who's 'we'?

I don't like this so called technical committee at all. You can't create a government within a government.

Unfortunately, the NFF chairman who should have flown home from Zurich after the fifa congress was in Boston the next moment, leaving the fire to remain on his roof. I doubt if Pinnick knew the import of the matches involving the national teams, not least the 2-leg affair against Egypt else he would have been back home to sort out issues regarding the SE coach instead of heading to Boston. Sponsorship means zilch if the SE don't qualify for the next afcon. Small wonder this guy was watching Arsenal when two of our national teams were playing international matches the other time.

So the likes of Lawal and the tech comm under Green probably now feels they are in charge. So it is now 'we'.

That said, the report is low on substance. Was that all they could talk about and then they regurgitated what was already in public domain to make the article long.

Nature abhors a vacuum. The Technical committee tried to salvage a BAD situation and they made the 'BEST' decision under the situation we are in.
