President Goodluck Jonathan will watch the Super Eagles live in Brazil if they qualify for the quarter final of the World Cup, Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo has revealed.
Yobo told our correspondent that they have the president’s assurance.
“He assured us when he called that he’s behind us and if we beat France and qualify for the quarter-final, he will come and visit us and watch the next game. That’s a very big motivation for us to know that the president will come and visit us. It’s better than money and we are determined to go there and fight and give our best. It’s a morale booster.” Yobo opined.
The Eagles captain noted that the chance the president will be in the stands to watch them play is an additional motivation to win the game against France
Nigeria will play France in the Round of 16 tomorrow Monday June 30th (5pm Nigerian time) and if they beat France, GEJ and some members of his govt will travel to Brazil to watch their next match.
