Hosts Morocco have asked the Confederation of African Football to postpone the 17 January to 8 February event but the organisers have refused.
Enyeama said: “I really hope it doesn’t happen. It is risky, in Africa everyone is hugging you and shaking your hand.
“But if Caf says it will happen I will play – if Nigeria qualify.”
Moroccan officials are set to meet with Caf on 3 November to discuss their request to postpone the tournament.
The Ebola virus has already claimed more than 4,500 lives since the outbreak in west Africa in March.
Caf has already approached South Africa, Ghana and up to five other countries about hosting the event should Morocco withdraw.

Caf officials are scheduled to meet in Algiers on 2 November to discuss the situation regarding the tournament, which has never been postponed since its inaugural edition in 1957.

Two spills in 2008 affected about 35 sq miles (90 sq km) in southern Nigeria, according to a group suing Shell. The area included sensitive mangroves. Shell "dismisses the suggestion that it has knowingly continued to use a pipeline that is not safe to operate," it told the BBC . The emails, letters and internal reports submitted to a court in London show that senior Shell employees were concerned before the spill that Shell's pipelines in the area had reached the end of their lives and needed replacing to avoid danger to lives, the environment and the economy.
