In a congratulatory message, according to a press statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Rt Hon Eseme Eyiboh, Akpabio described the national senior football team as the pride of the nation and commended their performance at the tournament.
The Senate President reacted to the Super Eagles’ 2–0 victory over Algeria in the quarter-final match played on Saturday in Marrakech, noting that the result reflected the team’s discipline, resilience and collective effort.
Akpabio urged the players to remain focused and sustain their momentum as they prepare to face host nation Morocco in the semi-final clash scheduled for Wednesday, assuring them of the full support of the 10th Senate and Nigerians at home and in the diaspora.
