Stephen Keshi has confirmed that Joseph Yobo, is still the captain of the Super Eagles.
The Big Boss was responding to questions from media men on Wednesday, at the team’s camp in Abuja. He also offered an explanation, as to why the Fenerbahce defender has not been called up to the national team since the Africa Cup of Nations.
“It will not be fair to invite Yobo to the national team and ask him to be on the bench, it will be a huge disgrace and I won’t be part of that.
“When the team needs him he will be recalled and will definitely start as captain even if along the line, we substitute him,” Keshi said.
The former Eagles skipper then gave the conditions, under which Yobo can be recalled to the team.
“For the captain of the team, he has to work extra hard to remain so because he is leader of the team and that has been the philosophy of the team since we took over because that was the way we were brought up to captain the national team,” he said.
