In a statement, 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, voiced his fervent support for Nigeria’s Super Eagles as they gear up for their Group A clash against Equatorial Guinea in the CAF Africa Cup of Nations held in Abidjan today.
Obi highlighted Nigeria’s profound impact on the global football stage, attributing it to the creative prowess of the nation’s youth. “Nigeria’s impact on football in Africa and globally is remarkable, thanks to the creative talent of our youths,” he remarked.
Emphasizing the team’s readiness for the tournament, Obi urged the national football squad to give their all on the field, rallying them with words of encouragement: “I encourage them to give their best to the game and be of good cheer. Nigerians are solidly behind them.”
Amidst expressing his support for the Super Eagles, Obi took a moment to commend both the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and FIFA for their role in organizing a tournament that not only showcases athletic talent but also contributes to the development of African youth and fosters unity across the continent.
