“Tell Nigerians the Real Reason I Was Dropped” – Super Falcons Star Esther Okoronkwo Calls Out NFF
- Super Falcons striker Esther Okoronkwo has accused officials of failing to tell Nigerians the truth about her exclusion from the national team.
- The footballer says she has remained silent for weeks but may soon reveal her own account of events if the real reasons behind her omission are not disclosed.
Super Falcons forward Esther Okoronkwo has publicly questioned the circumstances surrounding her exclusion from the national team, calling on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to disclose what she describes as the “real truth” behind her absence.
In a statement shared on social media, the football star accused unnamed officials of misleading Nigerians about the reasons she was left out of the squad.
According to Okoronkwo, she had remained silent for weeks out of respect for professionalism and her love for the game, but said she could no longer watch what she described as false narratives, speculation, and misinformation continue to circulate.
Addressing those responsible for the decision, she urged them to be transparent with Nigerians and reveal the actual reasons behind her exclusion.
“To those corrupt officials responsible for the decisions that led to my exclusion from the Super Falcons squad, why not tell Nigerians the real truth?” she wrote.
Okoronkwo further warned that if the reasons for her omission are not made public, she may be forced to share her own side of the story and reveal what allegedly transpired behind closed doors.
“For weeks, I have remained silent out of respect, professionalism, and love for the game. However, I will not allow false narratives, speculation, and misinformation to continue spreading,” she stated.
“I urge those in charge to stop lying to Nigerians and tell them the real reasons I was excluded from the team. If the truth is not made known, I will have no choice but to share my own side of the story and expose everything that has happened behind closed doors.”
