The 2023 presidential candidate for Labour Party, Peter Obi, has slammed the Nigerian government over the failure to pay the allowances of the Super Eagles, the nation’s football team.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Obi stated: “It is truly unfortunate that our Super Eagles, who consistently give their best in representing our dear nation, are being owed their allowances.
We always seem to find money to waste on needless lavish spending and political patronage, yet we cannot pay those who patriotically raise our flag, bring us pride, and serve with dedication. That is what is found in a “now disgraced country”.

He added that such neglect sends the wrong message to Nigerian youths, implying that hard work and service are not rewarded.
“Those who represent Nigeria deserve to be paid promptly and treated with respect. We must do better. A New Nigeria is POssible,” Obi concluded.
