The former governor said irrespective of the outcome of the match, they are still Nigerians and will continue to drum support for the home team.

AFCON: Ex-Arsenal Star, Adebayor Storms Super Eagles Hotel Ahead Of Ivory Coast Clash

Earlier, former Arsenal and Manchester City player, Emmanuel Adebayor, visited the hotel where Nigeria’s national men’s football team, the Super Eagles, are lodged at the ongoing African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Cote d’Ivoire.

Naija News reports that the Nigeria team is scheduled to take on hosts, Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) in a Group A encounter at the Alassanne Quattara Stadium on Thursday (today).

Speaking, however, ahead of the encounter, Adebayor expressed optimism that Napoli star striker Victor Osimhen will make the difference for the Super Eagles against Ivory Coast today.

It could be recalled that Osimhen scored in Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea last Sunday. Though Osimhen was wasteful during the encounter.

Adebayor has, however, backed the Napoli hitman to make the difference for the Super Eagles against the Elephants today.

“I’m here in the Super Eagles hotel to support the team and offer my support to Osimhen.

“He is doing well and is a pride to our continent. We all must rally round him to give him our support,” the Togolese former professional footballer said.
