Lagos Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Saturday revealed he
could not contain his excitement during Nigeria’s soccer outing against
Liberia.
The Super Eagles took on the Lone Stars on Friday in a 2022
World Cup Qualifier.
The team emerged victorious after two clinical finishes from
Leicester City star, Kelechi Iheanacho popularly called ‘senior man’.
In a post on Facebook, Sanwo-Olu hailed the players for
their performance and for making him and other Nigerians happy.
“With Lagos comes a spirit of victory and like every
football loving Nigerian, I jumped out of my seat when Kelechi Iheanacho scored
the two goals that gave us victory.
“A big congratulations to our darling Super Eagles on their
convincing victory over the Lone Stars of Liberia in their World Cup qualifying
match”, he wrote.
The Lagos helmsman assured the state government will
continue to position the Teslim Balogun Stadium as the first choice for big
sporting events.
Named after a former professional football player, the
facility in Surulere, opposite the National Stadium, has a capacity of 24,325.
Nigeria now tops Group C. However, Iheanacho and other
England and Scotland based players will make the trip to Cape Verde due to
COVID-19 travel restrictions by the United Kingdom.
