CAPTAIN of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Ahmed Musa, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to come over to Ivory Coast and cheer the team at the ongoing AFCON23 tournament.
Ahmed Musa, speaking to the Minister of Sports Development, Sen. John Owan Enoh, on a Zoom meeting, told him to pass the message to the President that his presence at the ongoing tournament is needed to cheer and lift their spirits.
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 to come and cheer us together. So this is our own message to the President.”
The Minister, in response, promised that the President would come as it was part of his plans to visit the team in Ivory Coast.
“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,” he said
The Super Eagles of Nigeria will play their Ro16 fixture against Cameroon on Saturday at 9 pm Nigeria time.
