Chairman of the NFF
Media and Publicity Committee, Hon. Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande has heaped encomiums
on Coach Emmanuel Amuneke and the triumphant Golden Eaglets following their
success story at Chile 2015.
The ranking member of
the House of Representatives, who is also serving a second term as member of
the NFF Executive Committee, on Tuesday supported the position of NFF President
Amaju Pinnick that Amuneke has earned his respect and should continue in the
post.
“Coach Amuneke has
proved that you don’t need to be a noisemaker to achieve. He was perhaps one of
the most under –rated National Team coaches until Chile 2015.
“I fully align with the
position of the NFF President that Amuneke should continue in the post. He has
done a marvelous job to bring honour to this country, and did his work quietly
without throwing tantrums.”
Yahaya-Kwande also
praised the players and other members of the technical/backroom staff, saying
they all deserve more than a pat on the back.
“They have all worked
with a sense of purpose and the NFF and the entire nation is proud of them.
“I am elated by the
attitude of the players on and off the field. The discipline is heartwarming,
and Amuneke must also take the credit for the way he managed the team and took
full charge.”
The Golden Eaglets and
their officials are expected to arrive in Abuja on Wednesday afternoon aboard
an Emirates Airline flight from Dubai.
