Nigeria's High
Commissioner to the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency Olufemi Abikoye has
congratulated the Super Falcons for their endeavour so far at the 11th
Women Africa Cup of Nations, while charging them to go all out for victory
against the Banyana Banyana of South Africa in Saturday’s final.
Delivering a message
from the President of Nigeria, His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR)
when he visited the team at Presco Secondary School during their training
session, Ambassador Abikoye praised the eight –time champions for seeing off
the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon in the semi finals.
"You defeated
Cameroon at home the last time to win the title so everyone knew the semi final
match between both teams was going to be very tough. But we thank God you put in
all your strength and you listened to the instructions of the coaches and were
able to come out on top. The analysts gave the match to Cameroon, but you
proved them wrong.
“So, on behalf of
His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, I want to say big congratulations.”
He added: "On
Saturday again, it is not going to be easy. Cameroon came out strong because
you defeated them in Yaounde in the 2016 Final. You cannot allow South Africa
to beat us twice here in Ghana. It is now your turn to seek your revenge against
the South Africans and win the trophy on Saturday".
The Ambassador further
pledged that the Nigerian Community in Ghana will come out in their numbers on
Saturday to support the team.
"We have large
numbers of our people who have been here for long. They will all come out on
Saturday to support you. So, put all your energy and technical know-how into
the encounter and win the trophy. A champion will always be a champion".
