After soaring over the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the Super Eagles of Nigeria for making progress in the African Cup of Nations Egypt 2019.
President Buhari, in a statement on Saturday evening through his spokesman, Femi Adesina, said he recognises the hardwork, team spirit and sportsmanship the boys have exhibited in the tournament, which are good signs for a team destined to excel.
Said Adesina “With yet more hurdles to scale before lifting the diadem, the President urges the team and their handlers to remain focused and determined, assuring them of the fervent prayers and support of all Nigerians”.
The feat achieved by the Nigerian national team was also celebrated by the people of the country on Saturday evening from Lagos to Jos to Kaduna, Bauchi, Abeokuta, Enugu and others.
