President Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday directed Vice President Kashim Shettima to lead a presidential team to cheer up the Super Eagles at the finals of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) holding in Côte d’Ivoire.
The Nigerian national team will face host, Côte d’Ivoire, in a thrilling rematch at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Abidjan today.
Recall that the Vice President had earlier represented the President at the semi-finals when the Super Eagles defeated South Africa in a pulsating encounter.
The match will rekindle the memories of Nigeria’s 1-0 victory in the group stage secured through Captain William Troost-Ekong’s penalty.
Recognising the unifying power of football and the immense role the Super Eagles play in fostering national pride and unity, President Tinubu believes that Shettima’s presence at the finals alongside the delegation is a testament to the government’s unwavering support for the team and its dedication to their success
