Tinubu Welcomes Super Eagles Back To Nigeria, Demands Justice After Inhuman Treatment
President Bola Tinubu, deeply moved by the inhuman treatment endured by the Super Eagles of Nigeria at a Libyan airport, has warmly welcomed them for their safe return to Nigeria.
The harrowing experience of the national football team at the hands of their hosts and the Libyan authorities prompted the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to withdraw the Super Eagles from the scheduled match on Tuesday.
President Tinubu said in a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy) dated October 14, 2024, that he expected the Disciplinary Board of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to conduct a thorough investigation and recommend appropriate action against those who he said wilfully violated the organisation’s Statutes and Regulations.
“The President commended the proactive coordination between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Federal Ministry of Sports Development in addressing the unfortunate episode and ensuring the safe return of our players.
“President Tinubu applauded the players for keeping their spirit alive despite the excruciating ordeal in Libya.
“The Nigerian leader recognised football’s unifying power in bringing nations and people together and views the treatment of our citizens as unsportsmanlike and inhumane, a stark contrast to the spirit of the game he deeply appreciates.
“He fervently called on all lovers of the round-leather game and administrators to unite and work collaboratively to prevent and overcome such incidents in the future,” the statement read.
