Moses had announced his retirement from international football two weeks ago.
Akinwunmi, who is also the chairman of Lagos State Football Association, disclosed this while speaking with sports journalists in Abuja on Wednesday.
He, however, said that he is confident that Gernot Rohr’s men will be victorious in match-day 2 slated for September 8, 2018 in Seychelles.
“We have the right attitude to work and the experience from the World Cup recently will help the team. Our players now play regularly for their clubs at the beginning of the season. I do not expect anything than a victory,” Akinwunmi said.
“Now we have players that have played at the World Cup and that kind of experience tells us many things that we do not know before, Iwobi was a bit part player with Arsenal and the new coach has included him in the squad leading to him scoring against Chelsea.
“I hope Victor Moses changes his mind and come back. People have been speculating why he left in the first place, I do not care, I hope that the coach can convince him to comeback because he will be a great addition to the team,” he concluded.
