The Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed has described the emergence of the Super Eagles as the champions of Africa at the just concluded African Nations Cup in South Africa as a profound testimony of the virtues of determination, perseverance and result oriented disposition imbued in the average Nigerian.

Governor Ahmed , in his reaction to the victory of the Eagles soon after the match came to an end, said the good blending of the home based players with their foreign based counterparts underscored the salient fact that Nigerians, irrespective of our different stations in life, can build a virile nation if we work together as a people.

Ahmed, who described the Eagles as patriots and worthy ambassadors of Nigeria, said Nigerians should see the victory as a veritable platform and unique opportunity to resolve to work assiduously for the success of the Nigerian Project, which he described as the institutionalization of an egalitarian society that would be a
pride to all the black peoples of the world.

He felicitated with the President Goodluck Jonathan, the Minister of sports, the players and in deed all Nigerians on the success of the Eagles on the eve of the centenary celebration of the Nigerian state.
