Peter Obi reacts as Super Eagles players are denied match allowances

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has lamented the denial of Super Eagles players their basic match allowances.

In a post via his verified X handle on Wednesday, Obi said the Super Eagles do not deserve the embarrassment and the avoidable distractions ahead of a crucial quarter-final match.

The former Anambra state governor said Nigeria must learn to fulfill its obligations.

“When will this embarrassment end? Can we get through a day without troubling news in this country?

“At a time when Nigerians need joy and unity—something the national football team, the Super Eagles, has been providing by winning matches and lifting our spirits worldwide—these same players are being denied their basic match allowances.

“A country that writes off trillions in debts for government agencies and political allies, and squanders money on grandiose, self-serving projects, now struggles to pay the basic match bonuses owed to our players.

“Nigeria deserves a better international image than this ongoing failure to honor previously agreed-upon allowances before the tournament,” he wrote.
