Super Eagles assistant coach Daniel Ogunmodede claimed the team has doled out a befitting Christmas and New Year gift to Nigerians with the win over Nigeria.
The Eagles claimed a place at the 2024 African Nations Championship with a comfortable 3-1 victory over perennial rivals Ghana at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Saturday.
Nigeria will be making a return to the competition after a six-year absence.
“I’m happy for today’s win. I’m happy for the country, Nigeria, and I’m happy for Nigerians’ solidarity. It’s a Yuletide and New Year gift to Nigerians,” Ogunmodede said after the game.
“We want our people to be happy, and I’m delighted that we’ve given them something to celebrate during the Yuletide and New Year.
“It’s just a few days to the end of the year. We didn’t want Nigerians to end the year feeling sad. So, I’m very delighted that we’ve given our people something to be happy about as we go into the New Year.”
