“I sent him a message that it was not the best way, just someone telling you that coach said that and you’re taking about me like I said it in an interview,” Finidi told Nigeria Info FM.
“From that point I didn’t hear from him, I moved on and I wish everybody well, only God will judge”.
Finidi also refused to comment on suggestion Osimhen should have been sanctioned with a ban from the Super Eagles.
“I don’t know, he is there already, let him be.
“We cannot crucify him, he has made a mistake, we have moved on and life goes on.”
