With Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup hopes hanging by a thread, Mikel Obi has joined another former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh to demand for a clear out of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Chelsea star Mikel made this declaration on his Obione Podcast.
I feel for the people of my country Nigeria because they must be devastated right now, again for the second time running we’re not going to qualify for the World Cup,” he said.
“If we don’t make it to the World Cup, I think the whole board of the NFF have to go because it’s not acceptable not to qualify for the World Cup for the second time running.
“We are the biggest football nation in Africa, something is wrong and drastic change has to be done.
“If the government has to be involved, so be it.”
He added: “Yes, the players too have to take responsibility, but the biggest problem is from the top 100%.”
