Eagles Probe By Senate Is Belatedt

The planned probe of the Super Eagles’ dismal outing at Ghana 2008 by the Senate has received flak from a big-wig of the National Sports Commission (NSC), as well as a former Delta State Sports Commissioner, Chief Solomon Ogba.
The NSC top shot, who does not want his name in print, told press, that the role of the Senate in the attempt to probe the Eagles performance was not only self-indicting but belated.
“Some of the Senators and House of Reps members went to Malaga, Spain, where the team was camping for the championship and okayed it, they came to Tekoradi-Sekondi and praised the team for its preparation and some even came with their families to the place, so what are they now probing?
“Lets call a spade a spade, the team just did not jell, not that they were not well prepared and that is what I want us to find out. The NFA has been doing that by seeking the opinions of those who were close to the team, so what is the essence of the probe?” the official asked rhetorically.
In his submission, Ogba simply declared that there were no reasons for the probe because it was a sheer waste of tax payers’ money.
“Look, I think the problem is very simple: Berti Vogts. He did not prepare the team well and did not know whom to even invite to camp. I was one of those who agitated that Austin’ Jay Jay’ Okoch, should be brought back to the team for the sake of the championship, but even the media and the men who now want to probe the NFA and the NSC, said no. We saw at the Nations Cup that the midfield was non-existent and the other teams that had stronger midfields simply strolled through ours to win, so what are we probing?”
