World Qualifier: Obi Consoles Super Eagles Over Loss To DR Congo, Urges The Team Not To Despair 

Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has enjoined the Super Eagles of Nigeria not to despair over loss to Democratic Republic of Congo in the World Cup qualifying match on Sunday.

He urged them to remain firm in time of adversity and regroup and “rebuild with even greater discipline, focus, and preparedness” for future encounters.

According to Obi in a post on his social media X handle, “Our dear Super Eagles, I know how deeply yesterday’s outcome weighs on each of you. When you wear the green and white, you carry the heartbeat of the whole nation, and I acknowledge the hard work, sacrifice, and commitment you put into every match.

But let this moment not break your spirit. Great teams are defined by their response to adversity. What matters now is how we stand, regroup, and rebuild with even greater discipline, focus, and preparedness. I am confident you can rise stronger.

“Do not let today overshadow the greatness of tomorrow.
The Eagle never bows its head, it lifts its wings.
Keep your heads high and stay committed.
Nigeria believes in you, and together, we will soar again.
Keep soaring Super Eagles. -PO”
