In a bid to inspire the Nigerian national football team, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State conveyed a powerful message, urging the Super Eagles to clinch the coveted Africa Cup of Nations title in 2023.
At a spirited send-forth dinner hosted by the governor for the team, he expressed his unwavering confidence in their abilities. “Throwback to this beautiful night of excellence and laughter as we hosted the Super Eagles before they set off for #Afcon2023,” Sanwo-Olu shared on his social media platform. His message to the squad was unequivocal: “No holding back, bring home the Nations Cup.”
The Super Eagles are poised to kick off their AFCON 2023 campaign against Equatorial Guinea’s Nzalang Nacional on Sunday, followed by matches against hosts Cote d’Ivoire and Guinea-Bissau in the group stage. With high stakes and the weight of expectations, Sanwo-Olu’s charge serves as a testament to the collective aspirations of the nation.
As the tournament unfolds, all eyes will be on the Super Eagles as they strive to fulfill the governor’s stirring call to claim the AFCON 2023 trophy and bring honor and glory to their nation.
