Mikel was missing in Nigeria's 3-0 win over Seychelles on September 8 in their match day 2 game away in Victoria.
Udeze bared his mind on Brila FM on Tuesday.
"He (Mikel) seems to prefer the games he plays now for Nigeria," Udeze opined.
"If he wants to go Moses way, just do it. He is trying to retire gradually that's why he is choosing games to play.
Udeze insisted that is bad precedence to the other players in the Eagles fold.
"For me, its not a good example for the other players who will start having problems with the coach and it could divide the house for a team hoping to qualify and hopes to halt their absence at the AFCON.
''Mikel could have come around although if he was in the 18 and is not dressed, that means he has denied a player in the team a space, and chance to play," the onetime West Bromwich Albion defender concluded.
The Nigeria Football Federation have however explained the rationale behind dropping the Tiajin Teda midfielder. The NFF revealed that the former Chelsea star was excluded in order to recover fully from his injury setback.
The first leg of the qualifiers holds in Uyo on October 13 while the return leg will take place three days later in Sfax, Tunisia - adopted home for the Libyans who are currently topping Group E with four points ahead of South Africa, Nigeria and Seychelles.
