The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25 election, Peter Obi, has assured the Nigerian Super Eagles of his support and prayers in the ongoing African Cup of Nations tournament.
Obi has joined other Nigerians at the Ivory Coast in support of the players ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash against Angola this evening.
Speaking during an interview with Arise TV on Friday, Obi said the players have done well, noting that their success so far was his motivation for being in Ivory Coast to witness the match.
The former Anambra governor, who praised the efforts of the players, however, called for more investment in sports for the development to foster more success on the global stage.
