Part of the statement read, “Having keenly followed the senior national football team’s progress in the qualifying stages, President Buhari is enthused by their confidence, sense of patriotism and professionalism, and commends these attributes to other Nigerians.


“He equally commends the coaching crew, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Supporters Club, especially Nigerians residing in South Africa who turned out in great numbers to cheer the players, for a job well-done, and assures them of the unflinching support of the Federal Government going forward,” he said.

Meanwhile, Atiku shared his congratulatory message via his Twitter handle, @atiku.

“Congratulations SuperEagles on qualifying for the 2019 AFCON. We will be here to cheer you to victory in the coming tournament,” he wrote.
