Ikpeba also threw his weight behind the yet to be introduced code of conduct for the Super Eagles.
The former African Footballer of the Year Award winner told reporters in Abuja at the weekend that the introduction of a code of conduct for the Super Eagles players could instill a measure of discipline and control in the team.
The player popularly known as “the Prince of Monaco”, during his playing days in Monaco, France stated that in as much as his submissions are not intended to rundown anybody but the truth must be told.
“I am not against the code of conduct at all if that is what it will take to instill some discipline into the team. The players must realize that the Nation is bigger than any of them and is not proper for them to hold the Nation to ransom as they did in Namibia,” he said.
Ikpeba took also a swipe at the Super Eagles Chief Coach, Stephen Keshi for allowing the case of the players’ agitation to escalate. He blamed the Eagles gaffer for not handling the situation properly.
“If I was the coach I would have handled the matter differently. I would never have allowed the situation to get to the level that the players would hold the nation to ransom in Namibia. I would have made the players to first travel to Brazil for the Confederation cup and after then we can now revisit the case.”Any source
