Osimhen had the right to speak out – Mikel Obi defends Victor Osimhen over rant against Finidi George

Former Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi has weighed in on the controversial issue between Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen and former Super Eagles head coach, Finidi George.

Osimhen in a video months ago on Instagram live, lashed out at Finidi for questioning his commitment to the national team.

Following the rant, there were calls for Osimhen to be banned from the Super Eagles for his action or at least be punished but no such action took place. Osimhen subsequently helped the team score a goal in Nigeria’s 3-0 thrashing of Benin in Uyo on Saturday, September 7.

Finidi after the match, said Osimhen has not apologised to him even after he reached out to the striker.

Mikel Obi has come to Osimhen’s defence saying he understands why the player need to defend himself.

“Every time I speak to him, he’s very humble, respects people. As I said, respect is reciprocal. I respect you, you respect me. I think this situation with the Nigerian coach, where he blew out, he just felt it wasn’t fair because the manager didn’t protect him.” the former Chelsea midfielder said on Obionepodcast.

“He said he had a conversation with the manager, everything was recorded, and the manager just threw him under the bus. He was really pissed off, so he came out to defend himself. Maybe the way he did it wasn’t the best, but he had the right to speak out. I have nothing against Victor [Osimhen] for that, and knowing your worth isn’t arrogance.” Mikel added
