UZOHO ISSUES APOLOGY TO NIGERIANS AFTER SOCIAL MEDIA OUTBURST
Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho has apologised to fans over his recent social media outburst, which was in response to criticisms of his performance in the team’s recent friendlies against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique.
Uzoho had a poor performance and conceded easy goals against the Green Falcons and Mambas.
In a bid to silence the criticisms by Nigerian fans, the 24-year-old posted a picture on Snapchat, tagging it “do it if it’s easy.”
However, a day after the outburst, the goalkeeper took to X (Twitter), asking Nigerians to forgive him.
He wrote, “It has come to my attention that my recent Snapchat has not been my best behaviour towards you all as my loyal fans,”
“I apologise for this as it was not my intention to conduct myself in such a manner toward the fans who have supported and motivated me throughout my career.
“My actions were more a result of frustration stemming from the actions of someone in my circle (will keep the identity private for now).”
Uzoho added: “Accepting criticism is part of my job and one that I often welcome from the people who continue to support me. I accept your criticisms with the utmost respect and understanding that you all want me to do better.
“I want you all to know that I continue to grow daily as a person and in my career, and you all are a vital part of my growth and success. My actions are aimed to reflect this and will continue to do so.”
