Nigeria captain and goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, has expressed
dissatisfaction with the choice of the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna as
venue for the 2017 Afcon qualifying match against Chad this weekend.
The LOSC Lille Metropole goalkeeper explained that he is concerned
about the current situation in the country and feels the safety of
players and fans need to be taken into account.
But the former Enyimba man said he believes that his country's authorities know "exactly what to do to make us safe."
“I'm not satisfied with the choice of Kaduna and you know I’m a very
outspoken person. I don’t like the choice of Kaduna based on what is
happening in the country but then the government knows exactly what to
do make us safe.
“I am concerned because it’s not Kaduna but because of the security
thing. I really don’t care where we play as long as there is going to be
security and safety of the players and everyone coming to watch the
match,” Enyeama told Brila FM.
The Super Eagles start their quest to qualify for the next
edition of the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon in two years, and the
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has opted to the stadium in Kaduna
after the men's national team have played in Abuja, Calabar and recently
the new Akwa Ibom Stadium in Uyo, where they have enjoyed little
success.
