AFCON 2023: ‘I'm Not Impressed With Your Performance’ President Tinubu Informs The Super Eagles
President Bola Tinubu has urged the Super Eagles to improve their performance and do better in the final stages
The performance of the Nigerian Super Eagles at the current Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d'Ivoire has not impressed President Bola Tinubu, according to him.
In an interview with John Enoh, the Minister of Sports, the president urged the team to play their hardest so they could win the cup.
Enoh revealed this to the players during a Wednesday, January 24, zoom meeting.
The minister said that “I had a meeting with the President yesterday. I went to the villa for something else and the President cornered me and said we (Eagles) managed to qualify and I said that's how we are going to keep going until we win the tournament.
“He said that I should tell the players that he wasn't too impressed with the last match but he knows that now that they are off the group stages, they are going to impress him more.
“That's what the President told me and it means that the President is actually watching your matches. Would you believe this? And the President is urging you and also showing an understanding of the game because he knows that there is a lot of caution at the group stage and from the round of 16, you are going to be more impressive.
“I remember that in 2022 in Cameroon, Egypt as a country struggled to qualify but they went ahead to play the finals.”
