West upset over Keshi query

Former Nigeria international Taribo West has raised concerns over the growing tension between the Nigerian Football Federation and national team coach Stephen Keshi.
The relationship between the governing body and the Super Eagles boss has been tense since the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations victory, with disagreements over unpaid salaries and the hiring of a second assistant coach souring the team's on-field achievements, which included their qualification to the 2014 World Cup.
West is worried about the timing of the latest saga, where the Eagles coach has been asked to explain his reasons for missing president Goodluck Jonathan's gala dinner in January as well as a technical meeting last month.
"I don't know why the NFF has chosen this time to query Keshi when the World Cup is just around the corner," the former centre-back told the Punch.
"We should be concluding our plans for the World Cup and not fighting Keshi . The query is irrelevant - it's a distraction. They should stop harassing him.
"I believe there are people inside and outside the NFF who are benefiting immensely from the confusion in our football. They are the ones instigating the crisis to make money to the detriment of the development of the game in the country and our World Cup preparations."
He added: "The crisis will affect the psyche of the players but I believe Keshi will take care of it because he knows what he's doing.
"They know if there's a good relationship between Keshi and the NFF, they won't make money. So they put much pressure on the NFF to fight Keshi. They don't care whether we perform in Brazil or not, providing they make money."
