The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN)
has labelled Sunday Oliseh, Super Eagles coach as a pathological liar who doesn't
have the uprightness to lead the National team and who constantly gazes for reasons
to validate his inability as the Super Eagles coach. This emanates on the back
of a 7-day ultimatum given by the body to the Super Eagles coach after he purported
that some journalists approached him to ask for financial support in altercation
for worthy articles and stories written about him.
“Sunday Oliseh has displayed to the whole world that he does not have the
capability of being trusted with the Senior National Team of a great football
playing nation like Nigeria and lacks the integrity whatsoever as an individual
to continue to parade himself as the head coach of the Super Eagles,”the
statement signed by the Associations Secretary General read.
Over a week ago the Sports Writers body released
this statement;
"Our attention has been drawn to a recent statement credited to the
Head Coach of the Super Eagles Mr.Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh that some members of
the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) have been approaching him requesting
for money to enable them write favourable reports for him, and that some are
acting as agents requesting that he invites certain players to camp so that
they can do business with them.
"The leadership of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN)
in its quest to ensure continuous sanity in the profession, and for the purpose
of the change mantra which is gradually revolving round every aspect of the
economy, is requesting that the Head Coach names these journalists that
approached him within the next seven days. "This has become imperative
considering the recent bashing the Sports Writers have been receiving from the
NFF and its employees. It would be recalled that the NFF President only
recently at the National Assembly took a swipe on the Sports Writers for being
the brain behind their inabilities to secure sponsors for the Federation.''
"Henceforth, SWAN would no longer fold its arms and watch people blame
their misfortune on the Association. We have, as major stakeholders, contributed
positively to the development of sports in the country, and would no longer
tolerate people dragging SWAN in their maladministration technical ineptitude.
"We remain committed to sports development in Nigeria."
