AFCON: Tinubu To Land In Abidjan For Nigeria V Cote D'ivoire by politicoNG: 6:24pm On Feb 09
The president of the Confederation of African Football Federations, CAF, Patrice Motsepe, has stated that Nigerian president, Bola Tinubu, will be attending the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final.

Nigeria and hosts Cote d’Ivoire will clash in the final of the competition at the Alassanne Ouattara Stadium, Ebimpe, Abidjan, on Sunday.

During his press conference on Friday at the Palace de la Culture in Trechville, Abidjan, Motsepe was asked when Africa could host the World Cup again.

The South African business mogul replied: “Nigeria must put in a bid. The Nigerian president (Bola Tinubu) is coming to watch the final on Sunday. I will have a conversation with him about it.”

Nigeria’s Vice President Kashim Shettima was in attendance when the Super Eagles defeated South Africa 4-2 on penalties in the semi-finals on Wednesday.

The encounter will kick off at 9 pm Nigerian time.

SaharaReporters had on February 2 reported that Tinubu from his “resting place” in France put across a video call to the Super Eagles ahead of their match against Angola.

The video of the moment was shared by the president’s son, Seyi Tinubu, who noted that the president called to motivate the team ahead of their quarter-final encounter in the ongoing African Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023.

The video was shared by the President’s son, Seyi Tinubu on his Instagram stories and captioned, “Mr President #officialasiwajubat encouraging the team ahead of the AFCON quarter-final match with Angola.”

In the video, Tinubu was seen having a video call with the Super Eagles players in Cote d’Ivoire ahead of their clash with the Palancas Negras of Angola on Friday.

SaharaReporters had on January 25 reported that Tinubu also urged the Super Eagles to improve their performance and do better in the final stages of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire, saying he was not impressed with the group matches.

Tinubu’s message had been delivered through the Minister of Sports, John Enoh, who spoke to the players from Abuja via Zoom in Abidjan.

According to Enoh, the President said he was not too impressed with the showing of the team during the group stage.

He wants to use the football to reduce the annoyance of people on him, he thinks it will work, people might only get more angry with him...

Show me any football competition in the past Tinubu has attended for Nigeria like Peter Obi has done in the past, Tinubu sorry it won't work, the AFCON trophy will not reduce the price of fuel...

Guys, cut him some slack. You may not be his fan but he's gone there and should be applauded. I am not his greatest admirer but if you condemn him for not showing enough support and watching from TV in France and he now goes there live, he should be commended.

This is the power of your voice in this system of government they designed.

Your favorite politician may not win but you can apply pressure to make the one you don't like work like Tiger generator. With all these abuses, they will only call you bad belle. Sense must be applied. Make them do the work they thought they will run away from with the pressure you apply, then congratulate them when they do. Because they need to understand your voice matters and you must not be taken for granted. Even your favorite must step up, when he sees that the current man is gaining momentum, he too will step up. Criticism must be done with only one thing, to make common Nigerian man enjoy. All politicians don't give a damn about you and I.

Obi first went there, scooped attention then applied pressure on them because they can't let him steal the show. VP Shettima went after we beat SA and now Tinubu as Nigeria's president is there. I remember I exchanged posts with a supporter amd quoted various times the French president supported his country at games. I even said Macron should teach him. Tinubu is going. I have to eat my humble pie and commend him. No be everything you go de find fault because you hate someone.

Tinubu should be reminded that he's an unpopular president hence they will boo the hell outta him. He should remain in asorock with his grand kids for his own good.
