I am not happy about Keshi sack-Kpakor

Keshi
Former Nigeria international Moses Kpakor says the decision to do away with Stephen Keshi by the Nigeria Football Federation was a hasty one and might be counter productive.
Keshi was sacked on Thursday morning after a spate of bad results and despite beating Sudan 3-1 on Wednesday, the Federation felt it was time to let him go.
Kpakor is of the opinion that he (Keshi) should have been allowed to finish the qualifying series before given the boot.
"I think it was a bit hasty a decision in my opinion. They should have allowed him to complete the series before taking a stance,"Kpakor exclusively told supersport.com.
"The unfortunate thing is that Nigeria's case isn't unique, a lot of countries are also experiencing a downward trend.
"These things happens, look at Germany, they lost to Poland, even Spain are not that different.
"Keshi beat Sudan, so I don't get the basis of letting him go" Kpakor added.
The former BCC Lions of Gboko captain also said despites the nature of Keshi's departure and the timing, he believes Shuaibu Amodu who was given the mantle for the remaining qualifying games will come good.
"This will be Amodu's fifth stint in the team I believe," the former Under-17 national team coach said.
"He was my coach at BCC Lions, so I know a lot about what he can do. He is massively experienced.
"Don't forget he has being there before and rescued Nigeria in dire situations before, so I believe he can do it again."
Nigeria are currently third in Group A of the 2015 Caf/Orange Africa Cup of Nations with four points from four games.
South Africa are top of the group with eight points from four matches.
