Super Eagles of Nigeria striker, Odion Ighalo has apologised to Nigerians for missing the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, Newspremises reports.

Ighalo was named in the Super Eagles’ final 28-man squad, however, his club, Al Shabab refused to release Ighalo claiming his call-up from the Nigeria Football Federation arrived after the deadline, although there are reports Ighalo promised the club he had retired from international football before they signed him.

The event kicked off on Sunday, January 9, and Nigeria will be playing Egypt on Tuesday, January 11.

In a video published on the Super Eagles Instagram handle on Monday, January 10, Ighalo confirmed he will not be part of the Eagles squad and apologized to Nigerians for missing the tournament.

“Hi, my name is Odion Jude Ighalo. Here’s me wishing the Super Eagles all the very best at the AFCON tournament.

“Sorry I cannot be there but I’m supporting the boys all the way, we need prayers from Nigerians to support the team, to back them because with their prayers and support the team will make Nigeria proud.

“Go boys and make us proud, you guys can do it we have enough talent in that team that can take us to the final. God bless you guys.“

yes bro..u are forgiven n forgotten, the nigeria team is bigger than an individual.
if we can still win games n trophy without the likes of okocha, yekin, kanu n other legends, i dnt know who are Ighalo n denis dt we cnt do without, players wey i no even remember wen last dm score Hattrick for country n club...we would play n win games with or without them
I wish the eagles good luck, d team still av a lot of quality strikers n after dt Egyptian game, we go don even forget about these guys..
