Asked why he snubbed Chelsea legend, Mikel Obi, who is one of the most decorated Nigerian footballers ever, Siasia replied:
“Mikel is stubborn. And I cannot tolerate people like that that much.
“But the only good thing he did was that that Olympics (2016), he came out and play (sic) because I have warned him like severally.
“He played very well and actually acted as a captain. And that was why we could get to where we got to (third place achievement).”
