Why Osimhen cannot be Super Eagles captain – Mutiu Adepoju
Former Nigeria international, Mutiu Adepoju, has insisted he does not support the idea of Galatasaray striker, Victor Osimhen, becoming captain of the national team.
In recent years, William Troost-Ekong and Ahmed Musa have retired from international football, leaving the skipper’s armband for other players.
Osimhen was among several names that have been suggested to become the recognised leader of the team.
However, Wilfred Ndidi was eventually appointed Super Eagles captain, with Osimhen and Moses Simon appointed as vice-captains.
When asked if Osimhen should be the captain, Adepoju told PM, Parrot: “Leadership requires more than talent.
“A captain must possess playing quality, leadership ability, emotional control, and the capacity to represent and unite the team both on and off the pitch.
“Anyone who cannot tolerate others or control their behaviour cannot effectively lead.”
