Former Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo, has claimed that President Goodluck Jonathan, is the reason why the country won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2013.
Nigeria beat all comers to emerge African champions in South Africa two years ago, after 20 years of not winning the continental trophy.
Yobo, who was speaking at Jonathan’s rally in Lagos on Thursday, said: “if not for President Jonathan, we wouldn’t have won the Nations Cup after 20 years.”
The defender who is currently without a club, retired from international football after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Ironically, Nigeria will not be at this year’s AFCON tournament, after Stephen Keshi failed to qualify the team.
