As Nigeria defeated Cameroon 2-0 to qualify for the quarter finals of the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa has described the victory as a testament of power of unity that football can bring to Nigerians.

Musa stated this on his official X handle, (formally twitter) reminding Nigerians on the need to unite as one nation towards achieving a collective goal.

He used the opportunity to sue for peace across the country irrespective of tribe and religion.

“Celebrating the Super Eagles’ journey to the AFCON quarter-finals – a testament to the power of unity on the football field.

“In the beautiful game, we stand united, transcending tribe and religion. Let this victory be a reminder that our strength lies in coming together.

“Amidst the challenges our nation faces, let’s use the spirit of football to bridge divides and foster harmony.

“It’s time to kick out the negativity, end the unnecessary killings, rivalry, and embrace the love that sports bring. Join hands for peace, goals, and a brighter future.”
