Former Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel has revealed how he contacted the office of then President Muhammadu Buhari, through his Chief of Staff Abba Kyari, to secure the payment of players bonuses during the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, after months of delays by the Nigeria Football Federation NFF.
Mikel said the intervention led to the delivery of millions of dollars in cash via a private jet to the teams hotel, just days into the tournament.
