Super Eagles players, Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi have been called out by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, for displaying the flag of Nigeria after the FA Cup victory.
Leicester City defeated Chelsea with a goal at Wembley Stadium on Saturday to lift the oldest trophy in England.
Kanu in his reaction said the decision of the Nigerian players shows they do not support his agitation for the state of Biafra.
The IPOB leader took to his Twitter account citing a case of Spain and Barcelona defender, Gerard Pique, who openly shows support for his native region, Catalonia.
“Gerard Pique is a World Cup winner with over 103 caps for Spain. He never turned his back against Catalonia freedom. Severally, he has shown open support for Catalan freedom.”
“But our Iheanacho & Ndidi with #Zoo flag? Broken heartBroken heartShame!”
“Difference between a White man and his Black counterparts,” Kanu tweeted.
