President Muhammadu Buhari has hailed Super Eagles of Nigeria for recording 100percent performance and keeping hope alive in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon
Eagles on Wednesday, finished in top position of the Group D with nine points, after the 2-0 win against the Guinea Bissau side, making it the third consecutive win for the Nigerian side, as they advanced to the second round of the tournament in grand style.
The President in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, urges the Austin Eguavoen-led team to maintain and even surpass the terrific form that made them leaders in the group stage, as Nigeria hopefully looks forward to a total of seven emphatic wins in this competition.
Buhari trusts that the positive reputation of good sportsmanship the traveling fans, sportswriters and the football team have demonstrated in Cameroon will continue to enliven the importance of sports, particularly football, as an enabler of development, peace, tolerance, friendship and cooperation.
The President wishes the Super Eagles the very best, pledging that his administration would continue to support the efforts of international, regional and national football organisations to use the sport as a tool to build a better and peaceful world.
