President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed excitement over the safe return of Nigeria's Super Eagles after they were stranded in Libya for several hours
President Tinubu according to his Spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, is demanding for justice from (Confederation of African Football) for the treatment meted out to the team and its officials.
The Super Eagles and officials of the team were in a Libyan airport for over 13 hours ahead of their Group D Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier with the Mediterranean Knights which was billed for Tuesday.
After hours of condemnation over the situation which went viral early Monday, the team is now in Nigeria and President Tinubu is happy that the players and officials are home and safe.
“President Bola Tinubu, deeply moved by the inhuman treatment endured by the Super Eagles of Nigeria at a Libyan airport, warmly welcomes their safe return to Nigeria,” presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga said on Monday evening.
