The current AFCON 2023, according to CAF President Patrice Motsepe, is the “best staged by the continent,” lauding the efforts of all the competing countries, the host country, Cote d’Ivoire, and the semifinalist, Nigeria.
Motsepe, who mentioned that Nigerian President Bola Tinubu would be among the dignitaries attending the event, voiced his confidence about an entertaining final on Sunday during an interactive session with journalists in Abidjan on Friday.
Motsepe expressed his admiration for Nigeria, stating, “If you haven’t been to Lagos, you haven’t been to Africa. As president of 54 member federations, I owe them all a duty, but I am proud of Nigeria.”
Over the years, football has been one great unifying factor among Nigerians, and this year’s AFCON has not been different, especially in the face of economic hardship.
Aside from the Vice President gracing the game against South Africa’s Bafana, the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, and his Bayelsa counterpart, Douye Diri, were also in Bouake for the semi-final game. [CONTINUE READING HERE]
