Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has extended an invitation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging him not to watch the team on television but to come and cheer them at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast. Musa conveyed this message during a Zoom meeting with the Minister of Sports Development, Sen. John Owan Enoh, on Wednesday.
Musa, speaking on behalf of the Super Eagles players, expressed the team’s desire for President Tinubu to be physically present at the AFCON tournament. He stated, “We have a message that we are going to send to you [Enoh] to the President. We don’t want him to watch the game on TV anymore; we want him over here [Ivory Coast] to come and cheer us together. So this is our own message to the President.”
In response, Sen. John Owan Enoh assured the players that the president would come, saying, “The president will come. I can assure you the president will come. He has told me when he wants to come, and my prayer is that gradually we are going to get to the point where the President can come. He will come. I will bring the president; he will come.”
Musa expressed gratitude for the words of encouragement from the minister and said, “Finally, we really appreciate your words of encouragement to the team, thank you.”
