Buhari Commends Discipline Performance Of Super Eagles Against South Africa

President Muhammadu Buhari has commended the Super Eagles of Nigeria for their discipline and spirited performance against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in Johannesburg which led to being qualified for the next round in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

The match, which was played today, Saturday, ended in a draw.

The President said that the spirited performance of the Super Eagles against a very formidable opponent has earned them qualification with the final match against Seychelles a mere formality.

“Having keenly followed the senior national football team’s progress in the qualifying stages, I am enthused by their confidence, sense of patriotism and professionalism, and I commend these attributes to other Nigerians.”

Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, quoted the President as commending the coaching crew, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Supporters Club, especially Nigerians residing in South Africa who turned out in great numbers to cheer the players, for a job well-done.

He assured them of the unflinching support of the Federal Government going forward even as he wished the young Nigerian football ambassadors more successes as they prepare for the AFCON tournament in Cameroon.
