According to reports from Pulse Sports, former Chelsea colleagues Salomon Kalou and Didier Drogba came under fire from Mikel Obi for not inviting him to the lovely nation while they were teammates.
However, he has now linked up with Kalou and Drogba for the AFCON 2023 draws in Cote d’Ivoire.
The former Chelsea stars were seen hanging out, with Mikel Obi posting their outing on his official Instagram page.
In the short Instagram video posted, Drogba and Kalou welcomed Mikel Obi to Ivory Coast, insisting he finally made it.
Mikel Obi also said thank you to Didier Drogba and not to Salomon Kalou in a joking way as they laughed about it.
The three Chelsea legends also took photographs together which was also shared by the ex-Nigerian on his Instagram account.
Meanwhile, Nigeria are placed alongside Cameroon, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ghana, and DR Congo in pot two, with the draw set to take place on Thursday.
