Former Super Eagles Captain, Sunday Oliseh, has raised the alarm over the possibility of Nigeria failing to qualify for Gabon 2017 Nations Cup finals.
Oliseh believes Nigeria may again be a spectator at the showpiece event fixed to hold in Gabon early 2017 if the disturbing events that trailed the first qualifying match in the 2017 qualification series are not addressed on time.
Oliseh wrote on his personal blog sundayoliseh.tv: “Let Nigeria leave side issues and player character attacks aside and face pure football issues.
“Otherwise we might not be at the next Nations cup again as participants but mere spectators!”
The former Juventus and Ajax of Amsterdam midfielder faulted the Nigeria Football Federation on how they have been all over the place in their quest to nail Eagles captain, Vincent Enyeama, for his supposed “uncomplimentary remarks” about the choice of Kaduna for the AFCON qualifying match against Chad.
“The current much ado about nothing on Vincent Enyeama’s comments ,disagreeing with the decision to play an African Nations cup qualifier in Kaduna is taking a direction now which, we may once again regret as a Nation,” Oliseh stated.
He continued: “Let’s remind ourselves that this particular game Vs Chad was won by Nigeria 2-0 and keeps Nigeria on track to Nations Cup 2017.
“Nigeria is returning back from a painful setback situation of missing out on the Nations cup 2015 and barely has the qualifiers started for the next one and an opinion of it’s Captain is the latest thing to pounce upon to discredit another loyal servant in Vincent Enyeama with what hidden agenda this time?”
