The former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi has taken to his official X account on Thursday to say that the sad experience of the Super Eagles in Libya should encourage all Nigerians to work hard and bring more respect and dignity to the nation.
Peter Obi said the neglect and abandonment of the Nigerian players at the airport in Libya is highly regrettable.
He commended the players for their patriotism, patience and forbearance in the face of the unfair treatment. The former governor of Anambra state urged them to use the experience as a motivation to win the match whenever it takes place.
According to Peter Obi;
“In times like this, when Nigerians are left dejected by the sorry state of affairs in the country, every victory by the Super Eagles would not only serve to unite the country but also give Nigerians something to celebrate.
“The sad experience of our national team in Libya should encourage all of us to work hard to bring more respect and dignity to our nation”.
