The Federal Government of Nigeria better act fast otherwise the infighting between some officials of the national team may scuttle the progress of the Super Eagles at the ongoing World Cup in South Africa.
P.M.Sports watched in awe, how two prominent officials, ASP Gideon Akinsola, the Camp Commandant and Eaglesâ€
The show of shame, which lasted for about ten minutes around 1.30 p.m at the entrance of Eaglesâ€
Kanu, who did not feature in Eaglesâ€
‘‘Hey brothers, stop this now, whatâ€
P.M.Sports investigations revealed that Akinsola and Attah have personality clash and have been fighting over who should be in charge of the squadâ€
Bola Omilabu, The Nation Newspapers Sports Photographer, who witnessed the clash expressed disappointment over the unending crisis between Akinsola and Attah, saying: ‘‘This is too bad for our nation. The officials would have gone into the Hotel to settle the issue quietly instead of disgracing themselves in the presence of the playersâ€
The FIFA officials and South African security personnel attached to the Eagles also expressed shock at the open crisis.
It would be recalled that Akinsola and Attah had a similar quarrel during the African Cup Of Nations in Angola in January this year.
The officials of Nigeria Football Federation, NFF are yet to react to the crisis, but Kanu promised to take the case to the body before their next training tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Kanu and his teammates spent today, their rest day to visit Shoprite and The Mall in Richards Bay, to do some shopping as the coach wants the squad to get down to serious business from tomorrow ahead of Thursdayâ€
