Enyeama spoke with Colin Udoh of
ESPN FC Saying;
“I was surprised, so I stood up
to explain my position and ask for an explanation, but the coach asked me to
sit down.
“I insisted on speaking because I
felt that with the years of dedicated service I have given to the country I
deserve at least the respect of giving my own side. But he told me that either
the whole team would leave the room for me, or I would have to leave the room
for the whole team.”
“There have been a lot of incidents
these last few months,” he said. “I don’t need it; the team does not need it,
so maybe the best thing might be to step aside in the interest of the country
so that the team can focus on football instead of distractions.”
Enyeama who arrived at the
Nigerian camp on Tuesday, a day after Monday’s deadline, when he was through
attending his mother’s funeral over the weekend in his home town.
Reports have it that, Oliseh was
unhappy about his captain’s late arrival and demoted him at a team meeting
after dinner, naming Ahmed Musa as the new captain.
