Nigerians React to Pinnick sacking Emem Uduak from super-eagles camp

Reactions continue to trail the dismissal of NPFL goal banger Emem Uduak from the Super Eagles team B squad by NFF president Amaju Pinnick. We brought you the story earlier.

Ambassador Fanny Amun

Ex NFF general secretary and  former golden eaglets coach ambassador Fanny Amun have also had his say about the matter, stating that the NFF boss took a hasty decision. 

"If he hasn't been sanctioned by CAF or FIFA then why send him out of camp? I strongly believe that decision was taken in a haste and it isn't good for the player's career " He said.

Amun also reiterated that he (Uduak) is not the first player to be involved in a transfer debacle, mentioning the case involving John Obi Mikel as a worthy example.

"This is not the first time a player will be involved in a transfer saga such as this, it happened with mikel and then there was a lot of noise but I quietly left the country and travelled to the two countries involved and the issue was resolved" he said.

If you can cast your mind back to 2012 when Sunday Mba who was then a player of Warri Wolves was claimed to have been signed by Rangers FC, Mba was then a member of the super-eagles squad and he was never kicked out of the squad for the saga he was involved in. And guess who was Warri Wolves chairman was? Yes you're right!! It was Amaju Pinnick, same man that has now kicked Uduak Out a camp.
