Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party for 2023, has commended the Super Eagles for their display of patriotism, patience, and resilience in light of the unjust treatment they faced in Libya.
It is important to note that on Sunday, Nigerian players and officials were left stranded for several hours at a Libyan airport, lacking access to food and internet services while preparing for their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against the Mediterranean Knights. In light of the inadequate conditions, the Super Eagles opted to return to Nigeria, choosing not to proceed with the match.
