In aptness, it is a no-brainer why. The Super Eagles wing wizard has time and again befuddled markers and left them in his wake when they come up against him, much thanks to his pace, quick-feet and the knack to find important goals for his team even in the face of adversity and below-par performances.
Defensively, he is equally an astute personality in that regard and his role for Chelsea has made him even more perfect in tracking off opponents and holding off marauders.
The importance of the trickster to the national team is non-negotiable — he is simply all in one for the team.
It is no fluke Moses top scored for the Eagles during the African World Cup qualifying series, including important goals against two of the continent's heavyweights, Cameroon and Algeria along the way.
Another important factor to him is his winning mentality. Having picked up his third club title with Chelsea after playing an impressive defensive role over Manchester United in the FA Cup showpiece yesterday, the 2013 Nations Cup winner brings that inestimable panache for success to his team.
It is hugely hoped this title win would rub off and inspire his peers when they go for glory in the Eurasian country in no distant time.
When the 27-year old is at his best, few opponents can withstand his menace down the flanks and his collective output for the team and it is precisely why he would be the key for the country this year.
If Moses can be well complemented by other experienced members of the team the likes of John Obi Mikel, Ogenyi Onazi, Elderson Echiejile among others as well as the younger talented ones; Alex Iwobi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi and others, then you can surely bank on him to produce the goods and deliver a perfect outing for Nigeria.
