The African Democratic Congress’ (ADC) Governorship candidate for the upcoming 2025 Anambra State Gubernatorial election, John Nwosu, has hailed the Super Falcons of Nigeria for lifting the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Women’s African Cup of Nations (WACON) held in Morocco for the 10th time, after a dramatic outing in Rabat, capital of the North African nation.
NPO Reported that the Nigerian female team had on Saturday pulled a dramatic comeback against the host nation.
They came from behind to earn a 3-2 victory against the Atlas Lionesses in a dramatic fashion, marked by energy, resilience, determination and skill.
As contained in a statement issued on Monday by his Director of Media and Publicity, Sunny Igboanugo, a totally enthralled Nwosu declared that feat clearly showed how with determination and focus, the most difficult tasks could be achieved and toughest challenges could be surmounted, adding that the feat embodied a lot of life’s lessons.
Nwosu, as quoted by Igboanugo, held that the Super Falcons’ victory showed how much Nigeria can achieve when things that unite the country are prioritized over divisive ones.
“What we saw today is the can-do spirit of that Nigerians are known for. It is a spirit that has broken many barriers and achieved great things. I particularly noticed the teamwork and synergy among the girls and their determination not to give up. It shows the reward of unity of purpose.
“As I watched our girls lift this beautiful trophy up, my spirit was also lifted. I am sure I am not alone. This spectacular achievement today shows how much we can achieve in Nigeria when we de-emphasise those things that divide the nation and emphasise the things that unite us.” the ADC governorship candidate was quoted to have said.
He further held that the ADC shared similar task of uniting Nigeria by promoting unity, equity, justice, and fair play.
Nwosu also reiterated his vision of recreating a new Anambra where the government and the people will share same vision and direction.
“This is the focus of the ADC. We take it as a task to unite Nigeria by promoting unity, equity, justice and fair play in all facets of the society, knowing that together, working individually and collectively, we wake the sleeping giant.
“It is particularly so as we make deliberate moves to recreate a new Anambra where the government and the people will form an environment of common vision and move in the same direction, achieve a common goal. That vision has gained a strong fillip by this wonderful feat in Morocco.” He added.
