President
Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the Super Eagles on their victory on Friday
over the national team of Iceland in their second match at the Russia 2018 FIFA
World Cup.
The
President in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity,
Mr. Femi Adesina, on Friday in Abuja, expressed delight at the confidence,
discipline, team-work and indomitable spirit displayed by the young Nigerian
players.
He urged
them not to limit themselves but to sustain the current winning momentum by going
all out against their last group opponent, Argentina, next week.
“I am
confident that if our players believe in themselves, they can qualify out of
their difficult group and even go very far in the tournament,” he said.
The
President said that with determination on the part of the players, nothing is
impossible.
He,
therefore, urged all Nigerians to continue to rally round the ambassadors with
their prayers and other forms of support.
The Super
Eagles defeated the national football team of Iceland at the ongoing Russia
2018 FIFA World Cup tournament by 2 – 0 through Ahmed Musa in the second half
of the game.
