Chelsea playmaker, John Mikel Obi has been named as Nigeria’s new captain.
The Nigeria international was widely tipped to take over from Vincent Enyeama who quit the national team following fallout with former Super Eagles’ coach Sunday Oliseh, but Ahmed Musa was handed the armband instead.
“I’m no longer the Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi is the Super Eagles captain,” Ahmed Musa said to ovation from the media.
Mikel made his Nigeria debut 10 years ago described Musa as a “wonderful professional”.
“It takes a man to come out to do what he did,” he said.
As it is now, Musa is the assistant captain. This development will go a long way in settling the rift within the players.
