Keshi had the opportunity of leaving honourably, says Christian Chukwu

Super Eagles’ former coach, Christian Chukwu, said yesterday that sacked coach Stephen
 Keshi had the opportunity of leaving the position honourably when it became obvious that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) no longer needed his services.
Chukwu was among the many football people who advised Keshi to walk away from his position when it became obvious that he was hanging on to the position because of the influence of some people in the former President Goodluck Jonathan government.
Keshi was sacked on Saturday by the NFF, who accused the coach of “lacking the required commitment to achieve the Federation’s objectives as set out in the Coach’s employment
contract.”
According to Chukwu, who said the NFF was right in sacking Keshi, “from day one,
it was obvious the federation didn’t really want to work with Keshi and one could read it
 easily from their body language.
