Fresh facts have emerged that Chelsea midfielder, Mikel Obi actually insisted he will only feature in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Egypt if he were made Super Eagles captain.

As a result of this, coach Samson Siasia and other top officials thereafter pressured the CSKA Moscow star, Musa to relinquish the armband to Mikel.

Mikel was assistant captain to Lille goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama when former coach, Sunday Oliseh picked Ahmed Musa as the country’s new captain last October.

AfricanFootball.com scooped that Mikel demanded the Eagles captaincy when he spoke with caretaker coach, Siasia prior to the matches against Egypt.

“Mikel made it very clear to Siasia he be made captain if the coach wanted him to play the crucial matches against Egypt,” a top source informed.

Pressure was thereafter mounted on Musa to surrender the Eagles captaincy.

AfricanFootball.com also gathered that a top official of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) advised Musa “to give them their captaincy”.

Siasia then held a private meeting with Musa in his hotel room in Kaduna on the same matter.
“The meeting was for 30, 40 minutes, just Siasia and Ahmed. And it was in that meeting that it was made clear to Musa to give up the captaincy,” a top source added.

Immediately after this tete-a-tete, coach and player headed for the press conference where Musa announced Mikel as new Eagles skipper, while accepting that there was “a mix-up” when more senior players were overlooked before he was last October as Nigeria captain.
