Indeed, had on October 29, written to the NFF General Secretary through the body’s Deputy General Secretary Dr. Emmanuel Ikpeme that the interview he granted on October 28 was done out of frustration adding that: ” And things are not easy with me and my family.”

“In view of the above, I sincerely apologise and pledge that such will not happen again in the course of my official/unofficial assignments with the federation.

“Thanking you for your kind consideration. I remain yours in sports,” Siasia wrote in his apology letter.
