Nigerian defender, Kenneth Omeruo, has revealed that players of the Super Eagles are yet to be paid their bonuses at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations despite the widely-publicised approval of their competition funding by Nigeria president Bola Tinubu, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The Kasimpasa defender also dispelled reports (not in PUNCH Sports Extra) that some senior players are unhappy with squad captain Ahmed Musa, accusing him of not representing their interests and threatening to take their case directly higher authorities.
“The report is a joke,” Omeruo told ESPN. Musa showed us at lunch and we laughed about it.
“We are focused on our game, believing that our money will be paid. This squad is not the one to fight over money, otherwise, you would have heard that we refused to go to training even before the tournament.”
