By PHC Telegraph
The three frontrunners in the 2023 general elections – Asiwaju Bola Tinubu (APC), Atiku Abubakar (PDP) and Peter Obi (LP) – have taken the lead in celebrating the Super Falcons.
The three men who continue to dominate the political space in separate messages to the Falcons celebrated the never-die-spirit of the Nigerian people.
President Bola Tinubu who spoke to members of the all conquering female team shortly after they were crowned African champions conveyed the appreciation of Nigerians living at home and the diaspora, following their sterling performance in the finals played in Rabat, Morocco.
“I just spoke with our Super Falcons, Tinubu said on X, “I told them how proud we are. They have lifted our spirits with their brilliance, resilience, and unity. We are very, very happy. I look forward to welcoming them home soon.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar remarked Sunday morning ,”It’s an even more beautiful morning with the victory of our high-flying Super Falcons in last night’s WAFCON final.
“Their 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title came through a dramatic comeback, driven by the Nigerian spirit of never giving up.
“I congratulate the Super Falcons and join millions of Nigerians in celebrating this special victory. It is a perfect send-off for Asisat Oshoala, one of the greatest African female footballers of all time, as she retires from international football.”
Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State in his reaction noted that the Super Falcons are “not just the first to get it done, but the best to ever do it.”
“A big congratulations to our outstanding Super Falcons of Nigeria for becoming the African Women’s Football Champions and winning the 2025 WAFCON!
“I watched as our girls never gave up. Just as I said before the game, it was an exemplary display of the indomitable Naija spirit”, Obi observed.
“This is more than a win—you have shown true dominance in African football. From every Nigerian heart across the world, we say thank you for making us proud.
“Today, history bows to your greatness. Congratulations, Super Falcons. Mission X—done and dusted”, Obi added
Football is one game which has remained a unifying force, especially among the Nigerian people.
As Nigerians celebrate victory, members of the political class who are warming up are not missing the opportunity to secure a space in the heart of voters whose turn it will be in 2027 to choose who will lead them.
