The 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate and former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi , has criticised the Federal Government over reports that the Super Eagles are being owed allowances

Obi’s reaction comes after the Super Eagles of Nigeria squad and its officials boycotted training in Rabat, Morocco, on Tuesday over unresolved issues with unpaid allowances and bonuses.
