Wambebe calls Ahmed Musa a God-fearing player
Nigerian journalist Godwin Wambebe described Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa as one of the most God-fearing players in Nigeria.
Speaking in an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, Wambebe praised the Kano Pillars player for his love and kindness toward those in his immediate environment, as well as his continued well-wishes for the country. He said:
"I cannot fully describe Ahmed Musa because of his admirable qualities. This is a player who does not discriminate and accepts everyone.
He is humble and always reaches out to the vulnerable in society. I’m not surprised he has used his social media platform to preach during the month of Ramadan and show love to his fans."
Odoekwu says Musa deserves more
Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigerian journalist Joseph Odoekwu has stated that Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle should have left Ahmed Musa out of the 39-man provisional list released on March 4, rather than including him only to drop him later.
Odoekwu criticised the decision, calling it disrespectful to exclude the team captain from the final 23-man squad.
He emphasised that the 2013 AFCON winner could have shared his wealth of experience with the team and served as a valuable ambassador for the NPFL.
