President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick, who is the President of the CAF Organizing Committee for AFCON, has again called on the three –time African champions to give joy to the country’s teeming football lovers by pocketing all the three points on Saturday.
“It is important that we win in Uyo on Saturday in order to fly with the same momentum to Tunisia for the return leg.
Victory in Seychelles last month has restored our campaign and we must capitalize on the good feeling to get close to a ticket.
