Former Super Eagle’s goalkeeper, Ike Shorunmu has called out Chinedu Obasi and Taiye Taiwo for waiting too late to bring their allegation of bribery to the public.
According to the goalkeeper who was the Super Eagles goalkeeper coach when Stephen Keshi {who is fingered in the alleged bribery accusation} was the manager of the West African lashed out at the 33-year-old for bringing up the case after the death of the chief coach.
“Before Keshi passed on why can’t he come out to say something about this? Why now six years after, I don’t understand. It doesn’t make sense. If something like that happened the player supposed to come out at that period when the person involved is still on the ground and they can investigate the matter maybe he collected a bribe or not.
Now the person involved has died. Who do you want to investigate is it the player or the late coach? We don’t need to deliberate on this, let’s go for something positive that can move our football forward not this Obasi stuff” he said.
Keshi’s other assistants Daniel Amokachi and Valere Houdonou have also reacted to Obasi’s allegation with the former Everton forward taking a similar position with Shorunmu.
“Why come forward with such now when the man in charge is no longer alive to answer it?” Amokachi said.
