He added: ''Peter is in no way to blame for the misunderstanding that happened (with West Brom, ed). He became the unwitting participant. The club said: "Peter, you can go to Queens Park Rangers, we agreed." And he hit the road. It turned out the negotiators have misunderstood each other ... ''
Going further, Obinna spoke on the reasons why he did not attend Peter Odemwingie's wedding held last summer in the United Kingdom.
''Peter invited me, but failed (to attend). We had a game that day. Recently, he became a father. We corresponded with him, his entire family is very happy,'' he said.
