hehehehe....President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday
night praised the indomitable spirit of the Nigerian soccer team to the
Olympics Games, which saw them winning their quarter final match against
Denmark 2-0 to qualify for the semi-finals.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President asked the soccer
team not to relent until they win the gold medal.
“Again and again, the unconquerable
Nigerian spirit has come to the fore, showing that where there is a
will, there’s always a way.
“This was a team that was not given much
chance, but which has now advanced into the semi-finals. Go for it. Go
for the gold, and let the Nigerian banner be held proudly aloft once
again on the global stage. We are almost there. Let’s go,” the elated
President said.
Buhari urged the Nigerians to pray and
support the Nigerian contingent to the Olympics, especially the soccer
team, so that the rest of the world will know that even in the face of
economic adversity, the Nigerian spirit remains resolute and lifted
high.
“And this, we shall demonstrate in every sphere of our national life,” the President added.
