Rizespor defender, Godfrey Oboabona has admitted that the Super Eagles are in a difficult group with seven-time AFON champions, Egypt, alongside Chad and Tanzania for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.
The former Sunshine Stars of Akure player said that if the 2013 AFCON champions must qualify for the next edition staging in Gabon, they have to swallow their pride and show commitment to the national team.
Obaobona also charged the Nigeria Football Federation to do their part and ensure that nothing distracts the players from reaching the goal of qualifying to the once-in-two years championship.
“I have seen the draws and what I have to say is that it is a good and difficult group and we must start work immediately, Oboabona told Goal.
“The administrators must do their part while we the players too are not left behind. We must be focused and work as a team.
“We must see it as a collective task and we must all be determined to do Nigerians proud this term after the disappointment of missing the 2015 edition.
“We must take all our opponents serious and we must not show respect for any of them from Egypt to Chad. We need to ensure that we pick all the available points either home or away. This is the only way by which we can get our desired result,” he concluded.
