Abdullahi: I Will Be Back For Final Match.

Nigeria’s Sports Minister, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi is confident that the Super Eagles will progress to the final of the 29th Africa Cup of Nations.

 Abdullahi insisted on staying on in the Rainbow Nation to see out the Eagles’ group phase campaign and only departed for Nigeria today after the Eagles earned a quarter final ticket.

 The Minster, who was delighted that the Eagles had qualified for the quarter final after wining their last Group C match against Ethiopia, praised the football players for making the nation proud.

President Goodluck Jonathan, has already promised the Eagles and officials that he would be in South Africa to watch the tournament’s final match on February 10 if the Super Eagles reach that stage. Nigeria take on tournament favourites Cote d’Ivoire at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg on Sunday in one of the quarter final matches.
