A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State, Barr. Akeem Agbaje has lauded the efforts of the Super Eagles at the just concluded AFCON tournament.

Despite the team falling short to Ivory Coast at the last hurdle, the APC chieftain gave them kudos for their starring performances in the course of the tournament. That he said, typified the resilient Nigerian spirit.

“I must commend the Super Eagles for their performance at the just concluded AFCON tournament. Their resilience and doggedness are a clear reflection of the “Can-Do” Nigerian spirit. They deserve our commendation, they fought a good fight, they went, they saw and made a loud statement audible to the whole of Africa. For this, I say congratulations. Indeed sports and football in particular have yet again proven to be a unifying factor in Nigeria.

“This was evident in how Nigerians rallied behind the Super Eagles regardless of religious divide, ethnic diversity and political affiliations. As one indivisible unit and as one country, we rallied support and cheered the Super Eagles to continuous victories.

Our darling Super Eagles showed us what is possible if we can set aside our differences to work together in unity for the progress of our dear country. Indeed they served us a lesson of unity. Our diversity is our uniqueness as a nation while our unity is our strength that we must put to use if we must fulfill our potentials as a great nation.”
