Stephen Keshi has withdrawn his resignation as coach of the Nigerian
national team, after a meeting with the Minister of Sports, Bolaji
Abdullahi. The immediate past Media Officer of the Super
Eagles, Colin Udoh, who has been covering the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa, made this
revelation late into the night, as the confusion and drama rumbled on.
Udoh confirmed that Keshi had indeed resigned, but that it was verbal and not written. As soon as
the news went viral, after the Big Boss told Robert Marawa on South
Africa radio station, Metro FM, that he had sent in his resignation
after the celebrations, a series of emergency meetings were held.
In the end, the 51-year-old made a u-turn and withdrew his resignation.
Udoh tweeted: “After a meeting with Nigeria‘s Sports Minister, Stephen Keshi has withdrawn
his resignation.” The Super Eagles are expected back in the country
today, although Efe Ambrose and Victor Moses, have returned to the UK.
