According to the Nigerian international, his decision to speak publicly came after exhausting other avenues behind the scenes.

“Sadly, I feel I have no choice but to speak out for what I believe is right, and I feel that enough is enough.
“It had already been decided that it was the right time for me to move on and experience a new adventure. Myself and the club ownership were in agreement that this summer was the right time for a new chapter.
