Former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Peterside Idah, has responded to Victor Osimhen’s public criticism of Finidi George.
Osimhen, in his social media post, accused Finidi of questioning his commitment to the national team, disrespecting the coach, and cursing at fans.
Osimhen had previously withdrawn from the Super Eagles’ 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and the Benin Republic.
The team only managed to secure one point from the two games and is now at risk of missing out on a spot at the World Cup.
Idah suggested that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) should intervene and urge Osimhen to apologize to Finidi.
“He (Osimhen) needs to come outside and apologize for the things he said to Finidi, Peterside said in a short video on X.
“Finidi George is a legend, You don’t just widen your mouth and say things that are unpalatable. If you have issues with the man, pick up your phone and call him. That’s what responsible people do.
“Osimhen has just shown a bit of irresponsibility, and that’s unexpected. I think the NFF should call Osimhen and ask him to apologize. He has to apologize for saying things.”
