AFCON: Senator Mustapha celebrates Super Eagles victory against Angola

The Senator representing Kwara Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Saliu Mustapha has congratulated the Super Eagles of Nigeria over their victory against Angola in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 quarter-finals.

The Nigerian team defeated the Palancas Negras of Angola by a lone goal.

Senator Mustapha, who watched the match live in Abidjan, the Ivorian capital in the company of the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio and a retinue of other senators, commended the players for their exceptional skill, teamwork and resilience that led to the outstanding outing.

“Today, our Super Eagles have once again proven their prowess on the international stage, bringing honour and glory to our beloved country.

The Turaki of Ilorin Emirate, however, noted that in this moment of triumph, the Super Eagles’ success is a shared national victory, bringing together Nigerians from all walks of life in celebration. This victory is therefore more than just a game won.

“This win is for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who was glued to the TV screen throughout the games, watching with bated breath as our team played with their hearts and souls.

“This win is for the members of the National Assembly, led by President Godswill Akpabio, who showed their support by being there physically in Ivory Coast,” Senator Mustapha emphasised.

“This win is for the ordinary Nigerians who have continued to show support and solidarity to the Super Eagles against all odds.

“As the Super Eagles prepare to face their opponents in the semi-finals, I encourage the team to carry the momentum forward.

“As we advance, remember the spirit of this win – ‘do not gree for anybody!’ Your strength lies in your unity and your unwavering focus on the goal,” he stated.
