The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) has described Super
Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh as a pathological liar who doesn't have the
integrity to lead the National team and who always looks for excuses to
justify his incompetence as the Super Eagles coach.
This comes on the back of a 7-day ultimatum given by the body to the
Super Eagles coach after he alleged that some journalists approached him
to ask for monetary favour in exchange for good articles and stories
written about him.
“Sunday Oliseh has displayed to the whole world that he does not have
the capability of being trusted with the Senior National Team of a great
football playing nation like Nigeria and lacks the integrity whatsoever
as an individual to continue to parade himself as the head coach of the
Super Eagles,”the statement signed by the Associations Secretary
General read.
Over a week ago the Sports Writers body released this statement;
"Our attention has been drawn to a recent statement credited to the Head
Coach of the Super Eagles Mr.Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh that some members
of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) have been
approaching him requesting for money to enable them write favourable
reports for him, and that some are acting as agents requesting that he
invites certain players to camp so that they can do business with them.
"The leadership of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) in
its quest to ensure continous sanity in the profession, and for the
purpose of the change mantra which is gradually revolving round every
aspect of the economy, is requesting that the Head Coach names these
journalists that approached him within the next seven days.
"This has become imperative considering the recent bashing the Sports
Writers have been receiving from the NFF and its employees. It would be
recalled that the NFF President only recently at the National Assembly
took a swipe on the Sports Writers for being the brain behind their
inabilities to secure sponsors for the Federation.''
"Henceforth, SWAN would no longer fold its arms and watch people blame
their misfortune on the Association. We have, as major stakeholders,
contributed positively to the development of sports in the country, and
would no longer tolerate people dragging SWAN in their maladministration
technical ineptitude.
"We remain committed to sports development in Nigeria."
