Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, has revealed that this will be his last Africa Cup of Nations campaign.
The 32-year-old midfielder made the admission in an interview with BBC Sports.
“It’s been an amazing ride for me in the national team.
“Thirteen years I think is enough. I’ve won trophies, I’ve had a lot of amazing time. I think it’s time for these young guys to carry on.
“I’m mostly here in Egypt to support the young guys and make sure they’re on the right track.
“I think my presence is always important for them, hopefully I can finish with the trophy,” he said.
He also admitted that he was keen to win the trophy for a second time while saying that winning the 2013 edition was a high point for him.
Last week, he had agreed a deal to join Turkish side, Trabzonspor, on a two-year deal with an option for a further year.
The Turkish Super Lig club announced the signing of the Nigeria international on a permanent deal as a free agent.
