The former Anambra State Governor disclosed this while reacting to the Super Eagles’ victory against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in the competition’s semi-final on Wednesday, February 7, 2024.
Nigeria got the better of their South African opponents 4-2 on penalties at the Stade de la Paix in Bouaké, Ivory Coast.
The game had finished 1-1 after 90 minutes, and nothing could separate the two sides after 30 minutes of extra time. But, the Super Eagles reigned supreme in the shootout as goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali made himself the night’s hero after saving two penalty kicks.
