Oliseh not reason I quit Super Eagles –Emenike

In from Nifemi Daniel . . . .
Retired Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike, has revealed that he bears no grudge against coach Sunday Oliseh, and that the coach is not his reason for leaving the national team.
The Al Ain of UAE striker recently retired from the national team due to disagreement in the Eagles camp.
“My decision has nothing to do with the coach (Oliseh), who is a brave man, a technically sound person, my decision has nothing to go against his vision for the Super Eagles.
“Being out of the team will equally ease pressure on the coach and it will enable the younger players to fight harder for the team.”
He however threw his weight behind the team in their quest to qualify for the 2017 Nations Cup and 2018 World Cup.

“I will be glad to see them qualify for both the AFCON and World Cup in 2018.
“We have lots of good players in the team and more are still coming in to contribute, so I believe the team will get better and stronger as time goes on. The team will be great under Oliseh.”
Emenike concluded by saying that, “Nigeria has produced lots of talented goal poachers like Julius Aghahowa, Victor Agali, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Samuel Okwaraji, Obafemi Martins, Ike Uche, Rashidi Yekini just to mention a few. I believe with God on our side, the team will fly higher without Emenike.”
