I’m Not Impressed With Your Performance At AFCON – President Tinubu Tells Super Eagles

President Bola Tinubu, through Sports Minister John Enoh, has urged the Super Eagles to enhance their performance in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire, expressing dissatisfaction with their group stage matches.

VerseSports reports that Enoh conveyed the President’s message via Zoom to the players, emphasizing that the President expects improved performances in the later stages of the tournament.

Tinubu acknowledged the team’s qualification but urged them to impress him more now that they are past the group stages.

The President, according to Enoh, is closely watching the matches and understands the cautious approach in the group stage, expecting more impressive displays from the team.

Team captain Ahmed Musa thanked the sports minister and requested the President’s physical presence at their matches, seeing it as motivation for the players.

The Super Eagles are set to face the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in the last 16 of the AFCON on Saturday at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan.
