NFF president Amaju Pinnick explains why he missed Stephen Keshi's burial

President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick on Friday wasn't at the burial ceremony of late super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi in Delta state and Twitter users blasted him, calling for his resignation, with some saying he didn't attend because of his feud with Keshi.

Amaju then took to his verified Twitter account to explain that he wasn't feeling well, that's why he missed the burial. See his tweets after the cut...
