Former Nigerian goalkeeper Ida Peterside has said Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen should be dropped from the national team unless he apologizes to coach Finidi Goge for his outburst on social media on Friday.
«I think action needs to be taken or he will be banned from playing for the national team. If we allow this to continue, it does not bode well for Nigeria. People who have served and given everything to our great country. So sanity needs to be brought into our football He (Osimhen) needs to come out and apologize for what he said to Finidi,” Peterside wrote on social media.
Finidi George is a legend, you don’t just widen your mouth and say nasty things. If you have problems with a man, pick up the phone and call him. This is what responsible people do. Osimhen has just been a little irresponsible and it's unexpected. I think the NFF should call Osimhen and ask him to apologize. He should apologize for saying something.
Our team is sacred. Back in the days when we wore the T-shirt, we respected it and the people who came before us. He is not the first, and he will not be the last. He must openly apologize to the former players, the NFF, Finidi and Nigerians».
