‘Great Display Of Talents’ – Peter Obi Hails Super Eagles Over AFCON Performance

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has commended the Super Eagles for their tenacious performance in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Naija News reports that the Super Eagles of Nigeria lost the AFCON final 2-1 to the Elephants of Côte d’Ivoire in a pulsating game on Sunday night.

Reacting in a series of posts via his official X handle on Sunday night, Obi said the Super Eagles put in their best efforts with high energy, stamina, and tactics despite losing the trophy to Cote d’Ivoire.

The LP flagbearer also congratulated the team for the great display of talents and football skills which took them far in the tournament.

The former Governor of Anambra State said the eventual outcome of the game did not in any way remove the fact that Nigeria is a home of talents, as exemplified by the national team.
