The Super Eagles of Nigeria were defeated 2-1 by the Elephants of Côte d’Ivoire in an exhilarating match on Sunday night.

In a series of posts on his official X handle on Sunday night, Obi commended the Super Eagles for their unwavering determination, energy, stamina, and tactical prowess, despite losing the trophy to Cote d’Ivoire.

The LP flagbearer also extended his congratulations to the team for their remarkable display of talent and football skills, which propelled them deep into the tournament.

Obi emphasized that the final outcome of the game does not diminish Nigeria’s reputation as a hub of talent, as exemplified by the national team.

He stated: “With our final match against our dear African brothers, Cote d’Ivoire, today, we come to the end of the AFCON tournament. Our national team, the Super Eagles, displayed their utmost efforts with high energy, stamina, and tactics, but ultimately, Cote d’Ivoire emerged victorious and claimed the cup.

“I congratulate our national team and every Nigerian for our exceptional showcase of talent and football skills, which carried us far in the tournament.

“The eventual result of the game does not detract from the fact that Nigeria is a reservoir of talent, as demonstrated by our national team. Once again, our players, with their exceptional performance, energy, and determination, embodied the resilient spirit of the Nigerian people, the giants of Africa, who persevere through obstacles to achieve success in all aspects of life. It was a fierce battle on the football pitch, and I salute their professionalism, commitment, and desire for success.

“I sincerely appreciate and congratulate the Nigeria Football Federation, the Super Eagles Coach, the management, the technical and medical staff, and all those who worked tirelessly to secure our victory today. Their efforts were not in vain.

“Today, as a nation, the flame of unity was reignited among us as we came together as one big family to support our national team and pray for their victory. On our journey to the New Nigeria we aspire to, we must stand united and collectively build our nation.”

Obi also honored Nigerians who tragically lost their lives while watching the semifinal match between the Super Eagles and Bafana Bafana of South Africa.

He added: “We will overcome all the challenges hindering our progress if we stand united. To our fellow compatriots who lost their lives during the football matches, we remember and mourn them today. These fellow citizens, wishing nothing but victory for our beloved nation, lost their lives while fervently praying for our success.

“We mourn their absence today as they are not physically present to witness our countrymen, wishing nothing but victory for our beloved nation. May God grant them eternal rest and give their families and all of us the strength to bear their irreplaceable loss. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the AFCON Champions, Cote d’Ivoire.

“They fought valiantly and emerged victorious in the end. I salute them and wish them and their nation the very best as we all continue to build the New Africa we all aspire to.”
