AFCON 2023: Let’s Carry This Momentum Forward – Gov Sanwo-Olu Charges Super Eagles

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has hailed the Super Eagles after their resounding victory over familiar foes, Cameroon.

The Super Eagles on Saturday, January 27, defeated the Indomitable Lions thanks to a brace from Ademola Lookman.

The win seals a place in the last eight for the Super Eagles who will be facing Angola on Friday in Abidjan.

Sanwo-Olu, who watched the AFCON match on television in Lagos, urged Jose Peseiro’s side to maintain their momentum as they advanced to the quarterfinals.

In a series of tweets, he wrote, “I totally enjoyed the Super Eagles’ incredible display of teamwork and determination tonight against the team from Cameroon.

“From Osimhen’s hard work to Lookman’s brace to Ekong and Bassey’s very solid performances as well as Nwabali’s solidity, kudos to the entire team.

“Onto the quarterfinals! Let’s carry this momentum forward, Super Eagles. Best of luck in the next round, and may our journey in #TotalEnergiesAFCON2023 continue to shine bright.” (Vanguard News)
