Ex-international and General Manager of 3SC of Ibadan, Dimeji Lawal has also added his voice that Osimhen had belittled a Super Eagles legend.
In a Facebook post, the former Eagles winger stated, “You are sounding like someone that already prepared himself for battle against Finidi.
“Everything in this world can be staged, even doctor’s visit and report, though I am not saying that’s the case here.
“Your outburst is unfair, unfortunate. You are becoming our hero, a legend but belittling another super legend is uncalled for. You sounded highly disrespectful.
It’s so unfortunate because we are seeing you as a perfect role model for this new generation.
“Personally, I love you and your achievements from a difficult background, the energy you used in playing is enough admiration.
He concluded by advising Osimhen to call Finidi and apologize, describing the incident as a “costly mistake” that needs rectifying.
“Osimhen, I wish you could see that video as a big mistake, tell the world that’s not you, be a man, pick up your phone and call the big Bro Finito and tell him you are sorry.”
