Boboye denies quitting U-23 job

- From Bashir Liman, Jos

Plateau United FC of Jos Head coach, Kennedy Boboye has debunked insinuatio­n making the rounds that he has turned down the national U-23 job.

Boboye, who was appointed as one of the assistant coaches of the U-23 national team, said the report exists only in the realm of the authors.

The ex-Abia Warriors head coach, who spoke through the Media Officer of Plateau United, Albert Dakup, explained that his mind and soul were with the U-23 team, if not he would have rejected the offer right from the day the announceme­nt was made.

“It was an honour for me to serve my country in that capacity and wondered where these unscrupulo­us elements got this unfounded and baseless report. My mind and soul are with the national team,” he said.

Boboye tasked journalist­s to crosscheck their facts before going to the press in order not to feed the general public with half-truth.

The former Sunshine Stars gaffer while appreciati­ng the media for their support, also disclosed that his doors are widely open any time there is need for clarificat­ions on issues regarding him and his club.

“I am using this opportunit­y to appeal to Nigerians for support as Plateau United prepares to face USM Algiers of Algeria in the return leg of the CAF Confederat­ions Cup play-offs next week,” Boboye concluded.
