for making sure that all of his members’ logistical demands are sufficiently met by the NSC in Rabat, Morocco.
“We must applaud Hon. Bukola Olopade and Mallam Shehu Dikko for their genuine understanding of the significance of supporters to a crucial game, which makes it very easy for us to give our best of support. They came to our aid in good time.”
“They have demonstrated that they recognize the significance of a match of this caliber, and with the backing of all Nigerians, I am highly confident that the Super Eagles will secure that World Cup ticket on Sunday when they play the DR Congo.”
“With this unwavering encouragement from the NSC and the dedication shown by everyone involved, we are stepping into Sunday’s match with focus, determination, and a deep sense of responsibility.”
“We urge all Nigerians to keep believing, keep supporting, and stand firmly behind the Super Eagles. Together, we can make this moment one that will be remembered for years to come,” Okumagba noted.
