Okpala Lied:I Did Not Share Nations Cup Money with NFF, Says Keshi

 Super Eagles Head Coach, Stephen Keshi has denied sharing largesse that accrued to the team after winning the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa in 2013 with officials of the Nigeria Football Federation.
Keshi, in a statement in debial of allegations by his former assistant, Sylvanus Okpala.
Keshi described the comment as not only untrue but a calculated attempt to pitch him against his employers.
“I want to assume that Sylvanus was misquoted but if not then there is no truth in such a claim, because the NFF has never asked or shared from any monies given to the team by supporters and well meaning Nigerians and state governments.
Keshi also added that he as the Head Coach does not handle money and could not have been the one that paid Okpala, for him to ask questions about short payment.
 He said why Okpala, maybe angry with the NFF over his present employment status, blackmail will go nowhere in correcting perceived wrongdoing.
