South Africa to boost the morale of the super eagles and cheer them to
victory in their final games against Burkina Faso on sunday.
A statement issued by the special Adviser to the president on Media
and Publicity, Reuben Abati Friday said the delegation will be led by
the President of the Senate, Senator David Mark while members include
Governors PeterObi of Anambra, Isa Yuguda of Bauchi and the Minister
of State (Foreign Affairs) Prof. Viola Onwuliri, the Minister of
Police Affairs, Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade and the Minister ofState
(Works), Ambassador Bashir Yuguda.
The statement said President Jonathan wouldhave loved to be present in
South Africa but his official commitments in London and Paris have
made it impossible for him to lead the cheering for the Super Eagles.
The president charged the delegation to ensure that the members of the
team are properly motivated and in the best possible spirits to win a
resounding victory for the nation on Sunday.
"They are to also inform the team that President Jonathan will host a
dinner reception for them at the State House Banquet Hall at 7pm on
Tuesday, February 12,2013 to personally thank and honour them for
their positively transformed performance in South Africa which has
undoubtedly re-established Nigeria as a major power in international
soccer.
"The President charged the team to go out against Burkina Faso on
Sunday with the greatest determination to win a final victory that
will bring immense joy and happiness to the millions of Nigerians at
home and abroadwho have had their pride restored by the triumphs
against Ethiopia, Cote D'Ivoire and Mali, and are praying for ultimate
success at South Africa's National Stadium" the statement said.
