Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has hailed Nigeria’s Super Eagles for qualifying for the quarter-final stage of the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON 2019.
They defeated Cameroon 3-2 on Saturday.
Odion Ighalo opened scoring in the 19th minute, after his shot was deflected in by Banana.
The Indomitable Lions fought back to lead 2-1 before the break, thanks to goals from Stephane Bahoken and Clinton N’Jie.

Reacting, Atiku said he was proud of the team.
He tweeted: “A delightful evening of quality and resilient football.
“Congratulations @NGSuperEagles on your quarterfinal qualification. We are proud of you. #TotalAFCON2019 #NGACMR”
