Former Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike has criticised Nigerian state governors, accusing them of lacking development plans and focusing on the alleged embezzlement of public funds.
Emenike expressed his displeasure in a post on Instagram on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, saying the arrogance displayed by some politicians made him sick.
The former international footballer also criticised the security personnel assigned to protect governors, arguing that some of them continued to serve political office holders despite facing financial hardship.
He further expressed disappointment with the state of the country, saying he once believed he was representing a nation to be proud of during his playing career but had come to view it differently.
“The arrogance and confidence in some of these Governor's makes me sick and a lot of them doesn't have good plans for the future of their state. Zero plans,” Emenike wrote.
He added: “Just embezzle money and una police and army go still they follow them with empty stomach. Jokers.
“Nigeria is finished and gone. We thought it was a country when when we played for Nigeria not knowing that it is an embezzlement ground.”
Emenike’s comments reflect his frustration with what he perceives as poor governance, alleged corruption and the lack of clear development plans among some state leaders.
