Ahmed Musa has said he will not put a date to when he will end his international career despite a clamour for him to stay away from the Super Eagles.
The invitation of the Sivasspor forward for the 2023 AFCON qualifiers against Guinea Bissau has again sparked off a raging debate over his relevance to the national particularly as he does not enjoy regular first-team football in Turkey.
Ahmed Musa, 30, made his Eagles debut in September 2010 and he is now the most capped Nigeria international with 106 appearances for the country.
“In as much as I am being invited by the coach and my body can vary me, I will continue to play for Nigeria,” Ahmed Musa said at a press briefing.
“The coach who invited me knows better and as a patriotic Nigerian, I can’t decline my national team invitation after so much sacrifice.
“I don’t listen to those who are clamouring for my retirement. I remain focused on my career.
“Whoever is invited, people must talk, so why should I listen to their comments?”
