Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, has urged President Bola Tinubu to attend their match against Cameroon in the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.
Musa made this statement on behalf of the Super Eagles players on Wednesday at the team’s Zoom meeting with Sen. John Owan Enoh, the Minister of Sports Development.
He said: “We have a message that we are going to send to you (Enoh) to the president.
“We don’t want him to watch the game on TV anymore, we want him over here [Ivory Coast] to come and cheer us together. So this is our own message to the President.”

Musa said: “Finally, we really appreciate your words of encouragement to the team, thank you.”
