According to a statement by presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, Buhari in a video conference urged the team to continue their impressive display at the tournament and make the nation proud.

He said: “I’ve agreed to speak with you, our gentlemen, because we have been making Nigeria proud. You’ve been winning. Please keep on winning. Thank you to all the Nigerian coaches and, importantly, you to all the players — Kelechi, Moses, and the rest of you. I very much appreciate your efforts.

“The Federal Government is supporting you, and I say thank you to all the technical crew and the players. Please keep doing the country proud.”
