Addressing the issue on social media, Musa acknowledged the difficulty of losing a game but emphasized the unfairness and injustice of singling out a single player for the team's failure. He highlighted the collective responsibility the team shares, celebrating victories as a team and bearing the blame together in losses.
Musa passionately called for a shift in fan behavior, urging them to spread love and genuine support to the players rather than engaging in negativity. He emphasized the players' need for encouragement during challenging times and emphasized the unity required both in victory and defeat.
In his words, "Dear fans, I want to please urge you to halt the cyber-bullying directed towards Alex Iwobi. Cyber bullying is not just a violation of decency but also a serious crime. It’s hypocritical to claim that football unites us while engaging in such behavior."
"Losing a game is undoubtedly tough, but targeting a single player for the team’s shortcomings is unfair and unjust. We win as a team, and we lose as a team. Alex gave his all on the field, just like every member of our squad."
"Instead of spreading negativity, let’s show genuine love and support to our players. They need our encouragement now more than ever. Let’s uplift each other and stand united, both in victory and defeat. 🦅🇳🇬 THANKS #BIG17″
