A former member of the executive committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Senator Obinna Ogba has stated the 3-0 win of Nigeria over Cameroon on Sunday saved Super Eagles Chief Coach, Sunday Oliseh.
The legislator, who doubles as proprietor of Ebonyi Angels, attributed the Super Eagles 2-0 defeat to Congo in the first match to the disagreement between Oliseh and former team captain, Vincent Enyeama.
He observed that the internal rancor affected the Super Eagles.
He strongly warned Oliseh and the NFF not to destroy what was on ground before his arrival.
His words, “We appreciate that Oliseh has said he is building a new team but he should also remember that he must not destroy what he met on ground.
“Both the coach and the NFF must remember that we still need Enyeama, there are no two ways about it. Afterall, most of his mates are still playing.
“Enyeama is very much relevant in the national team, and I want to state that I don’t support Oliseh for that decision.
“Anything that should be done to bring back the first choice goalkeeper must be done because we cannot afford to miss out of the next Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).” .
