The Chairman of the Nigeria Football Association, Alhaji Ibrahim Galadima says Celestine Babayaro, Victor Agali and Yakubu Aiyegbeni have not been pardoned.
After the match against South Africa, Sports Minister, Musa Mohammed said that the players would be pardoned after the game against Benin Republic, but in an interview with the football boss, Ibrahim Galadima declared that the players have not aplogised and there should not be talk of the boys been pardoned.
"I met the Minister after the match and he did not tell me anything about pardon for the boys.”
" They have not sent any letter of apology and it is only when we see a letter that we can even think of forgiving them for the offence for which they were punished.”
Ibrahim Galadima that every player must abide by the rules and regulations governing the camp and that the association did everything possible to make the boys obey camp rules.
Journalists and football fans are waiting to see if the boys would actually be pardoned after the Benin
match as the three players have since left Monastir.

Eagles move to Sfax
Players and officials of the Super Eagles Monday morning moved to Sfax, the venue of the last match against Benin,which comes up on Wednesday.
Coach Christain Chukwu has said that the team would train in the evening to get ready for the all important game.
The players are expected to get a feel of the Stadium and settle down to concentrate on the game which they must win by a large margin.

Face saving from Galadima. Ifr the minister said they are pardoned they are. He is just embarassed because they told him to stuff his pardon and left.

If there were no God, I would not be alive.
And if God is not good, I would have been dead.

There is a difference between an intention to pardon after the Benin game and an actual pardon. If you read what Galadima said you cannot come to any other conclusion but that there was no pardon. All we have is people saying the minister had an intention to pardon, even JJ's interview said that was his understanding.Talk IT wrote:ShownojaShownoja wrote:As far as there is no concrete evidence, this remains purely in the realm of speculation.Larry Ashagbe wrote:The boys were pardoned.

The only direct quote to go by is that whcih came from Galadima and he said there was no pardon.
