Akpoborie Blames Keshi For Saintfiet Rant
: Aug 27, 2013
By Johnny Edward:Ex International Jonathan Akpoborie has faulted Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi for calling Malawi boss Tom Saintfeit "a white dude who should go back to Belgium."
The row comes just days before the crucial World Cup Group F qualifier between Nigeria and Malawi on September 7 in Calabar, and the former Wolfsburg of Germany striker believes the former Mail and Togo boss made a big mistake calling Saintfiet a 'white dude'.
The pair have been at loggeratheads since Malawi asked Fifa to move next month's crucial World Cup qualifier from Calabar for safety reasons.
"Big big mistake Mr keshi. For someone who played in Europe, and know how the system works," the former FC Hansa Rostock and VfB Stuttgart states.
"The African world will shake if a white man addresses us by that same manner. Eg Mikel and Mr clattenburg in the EPL last season."
Akpoborie's former teammate, Efan Ekoku had also expressed his disappointment at Keshi's remark about the Malawi coach. ------------------- complete sports
