The Cameroonian, who opened up a training foundation in Gabon in 2012, wished his former star teammates a safe flight to Africa, thanking them for visiting his "other country".
"I wish you a safe journey to my other country: Gabon. There, you will discover warm and welcoming people," he wrote on his official Instagram account.
"Thank you for keeping your promise! I couldn't be there with you because my agenda didn't allow for it, but enjoy your stay and as agreed, after Libreville it will be Yaoundé. See you soon!"
