President Buhari on Saturday
praised the indomitable spirit of the Nigerian soccer team to the 2016
Olympics Game. Nigeria beats Denmark 2.0 to secure a place in the
semi-finals
A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesin, said a cheering President Muhammadu Buhari Saturday night praised the
indomitable spirit of the Nigerian soccer team to the Olympics Games,
which saw them flying over Denmark 2-0 to qualify for the semi-finals.
"Again and again, the unconquerable
Nigerian spirit has come to the fore, showing that where there is a
will, there's always a way. This was a team that was not given much
chance, but which has now advanced into
the semi-finals. Go for it. Go for the gold, and let the Nigerian banner
be held proudly aloft once again on the global stage. We are almost
there. Let's go."
President Buhari urged the Nigerian nation to pray
and support the Nigerian contingent to the Olympics, especially the
soccer team, so that the rest of the world will know that even in the
face of economic adversity, the Nigerian spirit remains resolute and
lifted high.
"And this, we shall demonstrate in every sphere of our national life," the President added.
