President Goodluck Jonathan has congratulated
the Super Eagles of Nigeria on their exhilarating
come-back victory over their Moroccan
counterparts this evening in Cape Town in the
quarter-finals of the ongoing African Nations
Championship. Jonathan in a statement signed by
Reuben Abati,
Special Adviser to the President (Media &
Publicity) applauded the indomitable spirit with
which the Super Eagles fought back from being
three goals down to snatch victory from the jaws
of defeat and win a most memorable victory with
almost the last kick of the match. The President
commended the courage, patriotism,
determination and dedication to national service
exhibited by the Super Eagles today to all other
Nigerians. He urged the team to maintain their
exemplary commitment to national duty until
ultimate victory in the continental soccer
championship for home-
based players is achieved. President Jonathan in
the statement assured the team and its handlers
that they will continue to receive the fullest
possible support from the Federal
Government and all Nigerians as they strive to
add the African Nations Championship trophy to
the African Nations Cup which Nigeria won last
year. And he joined all other patriotic and proud
Nigerians in praying for the success of the team
in the semi-finals and finals of the tournament.
