As first reported by DECENCY GLOBAL NEWS, a major pay row is boiling in the Super Eagles camp at the 2023 AFCON after outstanding bonuses and allowances of the team have yet to be paid despite a Government approval to clear these monies.
It can now be reported that the cash crisis in the Super Eagles has taken a new dimension after several senior players fell out with captain Ahmed Musa for “not fighting” for the team.
DECENCY GLOBAL NEWS learnt that the senior players accused Ahmed Musa of taking sides with the NFF leadership as it concerns payments for them.
One of the senior players who recently captained the team in the absence of Ahmed Musa had a personal confrontation with the captain on this vexed issue.
It was alleged that Ahmed Musa has failed to carry the rest of the team on discussions concerning their welfare.
“There is a serious issue of trust between Ahmed Musa and the other players when it comes to pursuing their entilements,” one of the players told DECENCY GLOBAL NEWS
“They believe he has not represented their interests.”
Some of the players have already warned they will go “above and beyond” their captain and take the matter to a higher level soon.
“How do you expect Ahmed Musa to take on the NFF to get the entitlements of the team when they did him a very big favour by getting him on the AFCON squad?” another source rhetorically asked DECENCY GLOBAL NEWS.
