The chairman of the disciplinary committee, Barrister Christopher Green, has insisted that he does not have an axe to grind with Super Eagles handler Stephen Keshi.

Green confirmed that the committee had concluded investigation into Vincent Enyeama’s case and had relayed their recommendation to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). He also criticised the media for being overly sensational about the case of Vincent Enyeama.

Green pointed out that he was not out to settle any score with Keshi, in spite of the grievances they had in the past.

“We have done the first case [concerning Super Eagles Captain Vincent Enyeama]. We have sent the first case back to the Nigeria Football Federation. It’s an internal matter that is happening internally. The NFF has the internal mechanism to deal with such matters,” he said.

“The other matter [on Keshi] is before me so I can’t speak on it for now.

“This is not a personal matter; it is a federation matter. So anybody that says I have an axe to grind with Keshi doesn’t really know what they are saying.

“What axe to grind I ask? What has he done to me? If I have an axe to grind with him we won’t hear it. He has not done anything wrong to me now. So it is unfounded.

“I have not quarrelled with him. I have a good relationship with him. He is our coach and he remains our coach and I want him to be our coach. I am one of those who endorsed him as our coach so whatelse are we saying?

 “Like I told you, the Vincent Enyeama issue is an internal matter. It’s the press that is blowing the case out of proportion.”
