President
Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the Super Eagles of Nigeria on their
qualification for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations following the score draw
against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in Johannesburg Saturday.
A
statement by Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina noted that the President joins
millions of football-loving Nigerians in commending the team for their spirited
and disciplined performance against a very formidable opponent which earned
them qualification with the final match against Seychelles a mere formality.
Having
keenly followed the senior national football team’s progress in the qualifying
stages, President Buhari is enthused by their confidence, sense of patriotism
and professionalism, and commends these attributes to other Nigerians.
He
equally commended the coaching crew, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and
the Supporters Club, especially Nigerians residing in South Africa who turned
out in great numbers to cheer the players, for a job well-done, and assures
them of the unflinching support of the Federal Government going forward.
The
President wishes the young Nigerian football ambassadors more successes as they
prepare for the AFCON tournament in Cameroon.
