Super Eagles forward Akor Adams has praised Wilfred Ndidi for his outstanding leadership during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Adams, who found the back of the net twice at the continental tournament, shared his thoughts during an interview with Sporty TV, describing the experience under Ndidi’s captaincy as memorable both on and off the pitch.
“Wilfred did an amazing job as captain, on the pitch and off the pitch. Victor Osimhen as well, he is the second captain, and Moses Simon as well,” Adams said.
Ndidi was handed the Super Eagles armband following the retirement of William Troost-Ekong shortly before the tournament in Morocco. His elevation to the leadership role was seen as a significant step in the team’s transition phase.
Interestingly, the midfielder also took on added responsibility at club level after joining Turkish giants Be?ikta? J.K. as a free agent from Leicester City last summer, where he was named vice-captain soon after his arrival.
