The Ex worldwide tendered his Apology to Amaju pinnick after an interview carried out on his radio station was met with disapproval by the previous NFF president.
” Final week, ‘The Large Interview’ debuted on Eagle7 Sports activities Radio.

It’s a program produced and introduced by my good friend and tremendous journalist, Osasu Obayiuwana.

He’s totally chargeable for the sports activities personalities he interviews on the present and the questions he asks them.

It’s in that spirit that he interviewed Mr. Gernot Rohr, a former coach who’s inconsequential in Nigerian soccer as we speak, after 5 barren years with out a Silverware to point out, and most irrelevant now that he has been fired and is incomes ‘free’ cash for work not finished.

After the Interview, final week, Pinnick Amaju reached out to me and expressed disapproval on the conduct of the interview a big a part of which, he mentioned, was skewed to disparage his individual.

I assured him that was not the case despite the fact that I had no hand within the questions Osasu requested him. Osasu was the producer and presenter of this system.

I instructed him, in fact, that Osasu is chargeable for the content material of the interview and never me.

In a match of anger, he despatched me a mail that was not flattering, to say the least. I understood his ache and forwarded the message to Osasu to let him know simply how Amaju felt. How he was not pleased.

It was a non-public message between Amaju and me, and I’d by no means in one million years have taken that as his public response to the Interview. If I ever thought so, I’d have revealed it myself and made an inexpensive level of it.

I mentioned it with Osasu and I assumed the matter would die a pure loss of life, just for me to see a publication as we speak on social media quoting from the personal and confidential message alternate between Amaju and me, that I forwarded to Osasu.

Amaju is my good friend regardless of our disagreements over Gernot Rohr and the person’s place within the story of Nigerian soccer. However I’d by no means have used my very own opinion to denigrate him in any method.

This publication on social media disclosing my personal alternate with Amaju and accusing Gernot Rohr of some misconduct throughout his keep in Nigeria is uncalled for, and a betrayal of Amaju’s belief in my individual. It’s completely out of my character and I take full accountability for abusing his confidence.

I take advantage of this chance to unreservedly publicly apologize to Amaju Pinnick for no matter ‘hurt’ this should have finished and should do to him. He doesn’t deserve this therapy in any respect.

Eagle7 Sports activities Radio shouldn’t be meant to struggle vendettas, and that is smelling very very like one. I don’t use my place to take low-cost photographs at anybody.
I’m really sorry for betraying Amaju’s belief and hereby apologize for a way our personal alternate has now turned ‘deadly’.

In the meantime, the content material of that story shouldn’t be a information merchandise, and I totally perceive, as a Nigerian, the context through which some phrases have been expressed.
I additionally publicly apologize to Mr. Gernot Rohr for the embarrassing report”, he wrote.
