There were calls for the 25 year old to apologize for his rant , after plans by the NFF to suspend him from the team was halted by the minister for sports senator John Enoh. According to Finidi, he still hasn’t received any apology from Osimhen who scored for the Super Eagles in their 3-0 win over Benin Republic on Wednesday in the AFCON qualifiers.
“I sent him a message that it was not the best way, just someone telling you that coach said that and you’re taking about me like I said it in an interview,” Finidi told Nigeria Info FM. From that point I didn’t hear from him, I moved on and I wish everybody well, only God will judge”.
