“There is no pressure, we know you guys have the capacity, the ability to get the job done which is what we are wishing for.

“I know the NFF president has been here. I just came here in my personal capacity to watch you train and let you know that I’m supporting you like every other Nigerian.

I’m sure you must have seen this video of a young pastor praying for you. We know that with all the prayers, we will get the result.’

The Super Eagles held the Nzalang Nacional of Equatorial Guinea to a 1-1 draw in their first game at the AFCON 2023 finals.
