The Nigerian Football Federation, in its own way of supporting Joseph
Yobo in his upcoming testimonial have granted Super Eagles captain
John Mikel Obi and his assistant Ahmed Musa permission to play in
the game billed for the Akwa Ibom State capital, Uyo on Friday, 27th
May.
Joseph Yobo has contacted so many former and current world football
stars including Wayne Rooney, Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto'o and Yaya
Toure to play in his testimonial, and the NFF with a friendly to play
within the same period, have granted Mikel and Musa permission to
show support to one of Africa's best defenders during his prime.
“The NFF leadership has decided that Mikel (Obi) and (Ahmed) Musa
should be excused from the two friendly matches in Europe so that
they can honour Joseph Yobo, who is having his testimonial game on
the same Friday, 27th May that we are playing Mali in Rouen, France.
“The two players have been communicated accordingly,” NFF General
Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, yesterday.
