The President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has congratulated Nigeria’s senior national football team, the Super Eagles, on their qualification for the semi-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) currently taking place in Morocco.
Akpabio gave the commendation in a congratulatory message issued on Sunday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh, following the Super Eagles’ 2–0 victory over Algeria in their quarter-final encounter played in Marrakech.
Describing the team as the pride of the nation, the Senate President said the semi-final qualification was a clear reflection of the players’ dedication, resilience and strong team spirit throughout the tournament.
“I heartily congratulate the Super Eagles on their impressive 2–0 victory over Algeria, which has secured them a well-deserved place in the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations,” Akpabio said.
He urged the players to remain focused and sustain their winning momentum as they prepare to face host nation Morocco in the semi-final match scheduled for Wednesday.
According to him, Nigerians at home and in the diaspora, as well as members of the 10th Senate, are solidly behind the team and confident of their ability to emerge champions.
“We are proud of you and we are confident that you can go all the way to bring home the trophy,” the Senate President added.
