President Bola Tinubu has saluted the Super Eagles of Nigeria for
their tenacious performance in the final of the 2024 Africa Cup of
Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire.
President Tinubu in a statement on Monday morning by his spokesman,
Ajuri Ngelale commended the team, the coach, the crew, and the entire
management team for their hard work, assiduity, and sacrifice to come
this far in the tournament, acknowledging the hurdles they
consistently surpassed with steadily improving performance as they
pulled through to the finals.
The President urged Nigerians to be of good cheer, emphasizing that
we won a great victory in the hearts of Africa and the world by our
grit, rigour, and determination in the field of play.
“Let this passing event not dispirit us, but bring us together to work
harder. We are a great nation bound as one by the green-white-green
banner of resilience, joy, hope, duty, and untiring love.
To those cherished Nigerian youths expressing their gifts in
communities, drawing lines in the sand as they play football in their
humble rectangles of play, you can be our heroes tomorrow, do not
relent in your pursuit. My administration is here to make dreams come
true,” the President says.
