Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, has urged President Bola Tinubu to attend their match against Cameroon in the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.
Musa made this statement on behalf of the Super Eagles players on Wednesday at the team’s Zoom meeting with Sen. John Owan Enoh, the Minister of Sports Development.
Musa said: “We have a message that we are going to send to you [Enoh] to the President
“We don’t want him to watch the game on TV anymore, we want him over here [Ivory Coast] to come and cheer us together. So this is our own message to the President.”
In response, the minister promised that the President would visit the Eagles
“The president will come. I can assure you the president will come. He has told me when he wants to come and my prayer is that gradually we are going to get to the point where the President can come. He will come. I will bring the president; he will come,” the Minister assured.
The former Leicester City forward also appreciated Enoh for his words of encouragement to the Super Eagles as they prepare to tackle Cameroon in the AFCON Round of 16 fixture on Saturday night.
Nigeria had finished in second position in Group A behind leaders Equatorial Guinea.
Peseiro’s men remain unbeaten in the tournament so far after two wins and one draw.
