Senate president Godswill Akpabio, on Sunday, applauded the Super Eagles for beating the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon to qualify for the quarter-finals in the ongoing TotalEnergies CAF African Cup of Nations.
Akpabio, in a congratulatory message to the Nigerian team signed by his special adviser on media and publicity, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh, said with Saturday’s triumph over Cameroon, the Super Eagles have proven they have the wherewithal to beat any team in Africa.
Praising the Super Eagles for their resilience, tactical discipline, and teamwork, Akpabio said he felt proud watching the Super Eagles demobilize the lions.
The Senate president noted that the Super Eagles opponent in the quarter-finals, the Palancas Negras of Angola, is not a pushover but expressed optimism that Nigeria will triumph over them.
