Nigeria’s most capped footballer,
Vincent Enyeama, on Saturday, apologised to Nigerians for the
controversy surrounding his exit from the Super Eagles.
The goalkeeper, on Thursday, following a
clash with the coach of the national team, Sunday Oliseh, had announced
on Instagram that “I am out of the team. I am no more available for
international duties.”
Oliseh on Tuesday had stripped Enyeama
of the captaincy of the Super Eagles and handed it to CSKA Moscow
forward Ahmed Musa, forcing the Lille keeper to end his international
career in controversial circumstances.
The goalkeeper, on the social networking
site, alleged insults to his late mother as well as being thrown out of
the national camp by hotel security in Verviers, Belgium.
But
the coach, while debunking the claims on Friday, expressed sadness over
Enyeama’s retirement from the national team, which he said had turned
many fans against him, following the team’s 2-0 loss to Congo in a
friendly on Thursday night.
Meanwhile, there were indications on Saturday that the Nigerian Football
Federation President, Amaju Pinnick, held talks with Enyeama in
Brussels, Germany, in a bid to convince the veteran player into changing
his mind about his sudden exit from the Super Eagles.
