The former governor of Anambra State also congratulated the Nigerian national team for making it to the AFCON tournament’s knockout round in a post on his verified social media page.
He remarked, “I applaud our beloved Super Eagles for their hard work in the current African Cup of Nations and their success in getting past the group stage.” I urge them to put in twice as much work as they can as they prepare to play our friendly neighbour Cameroon in the knockout stage today. I also wish them, and thus our beloved country, Nigeria, an overwhelming win.
We continue to be a nation of winners despite the challenges and obstacles of today.
As representatives of our country, our football players fly the flag of our young. Their hope and the promise of the great nation we deserve and strive for are things I share and will always support. It is conceivable.
