The new chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Adamu
Muazu has expressed optimism that the Super Eagles will beat her West
African rival, Ghana in today’s semi-final of the on-going CHAN
tournament in South Africa to reach final.
The former Bauchi State governor, who recently assumed the position of the chairman of the largest party in Africa, PDP insisted that Nigerians are already looking beyond the semi-final clash against Ghana.
He said the miraculous comeback of the team to beat the Atlas Lions of Morocco in a seven-goal thriller signifies that Stephen Keshi-led home based players were destined for the trophy, and Nigerians would be happy again to have the trophy at home come Sunday after pocketed the AFCON and Under-17 World Cup trophies respectively last year under the leadership of president Goodluck Jonathan.
Muazu, who spoke through his aid on sports matters, Mallam Inuwa Isa, urged the players to go all out against Ghana in the semi-final clash and their likely opponents in the final to win the trophy in their maiden appearance in the tournament.
He also revealed that PDP-led government has a penchant for football and sports in general because of its unifying factor in the country, and it will do all within its powers to reward those who make the country proud at any point in time.
“President Jonathan over the years has shown that PDP-led government has a special penchant for football and sports in general that is why he has rewarded all those that needed to be rewarded and who have made the nation proud at different events. He will continue to do that, so I urge our youths in all sports to brace up now that we have a president who rewards achievers,” he said.
