Ogu defends Victor Osimhen
The drama unfolded after Finidi's shock resignation as Super Eagles boss following two matches in charge.
Osimhen, who missed both games, took to social media to unleash a scathing 10-minute Instagram Live rant, hurling insults and accusing the legendary figure of disrespecting him over an alleged statement attributed to the former Enyimba boss.

I know Osimhen, even in his under-17s days I know the boy as a good boy, a boy that is respectful, regardless of who you are," Ogu said in a video posted on Instagram.
Ogu defended Osimhen's outburst, suggesting that the 25-year-old striker had proof against the accusations made against him that Finidi won’t beg him to play for Nigeria and may have lost control due to the "jealousy" surrounding his success.
)
Osimhen, to say he won't play for Nigeria or fake injury? It's not possible. He is a fighter, he wants to win, I know him for that one," Ogu said.
The former Nigeria midfielder also revealed that he had reached out to Osimhen, advising him to "relax" amid the heated exchange with Finidi.
The feud has reignited concerns over the state of the Nigerian national team, with questions being raised about the management of the squad and the relationships between players and coaches.

As the dust settles, it remains to be seen whether Osimhen and Finidi George can mend their rift, or if this episode will have lasting repercussions for the Super Eagles.
But Ogu added that the in-demand striker has apologised for his remarkable outburst.
At that moment when someone accuses you of something, you may lose control. Some people need to speak what is on their minds or they can’t sleep. He (Osimhen) did that. Has he apologised? I am sure he has.”
