The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has urged the Super Eagles to remain resilient following their defeat to the Democratic Republic of Congo in Sunday's World Cup qualifying playoff final in Morocco.
In a post on X on Monday, Obi acknowledged the disappointment felt across the country but encouraged the players not to lose confidence.
"Our dear Super Eagles, I know how deeply yesterday's outcome weighs on each of you. When you wear the green and white, you carry the heartbeat of the whole nation, and I acknowledge the hard work, sacrifice, and commitment you put into every match," he wrote.
