NIGERIAN international, Godfrey Oboabona has charged
players of the Super Eagles to beat their Tanzanian counterparts for soccer
loving Nigerians.
Nigeria will battle Tanzania in 2017 Africa Nations Cup qualifier at the Godswil Akpabio
Stadium in Uyo on Saturday and speaking with
Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com from his base in Turkey, the Çaykur Rizespor defender stressed the
importance of recording victory over the East Africans.
"It is very important for the team to win against
Tanzania to make Nigerians happy. Though we are out of the race for the Nations
Cup, victory will no doubt give the team a psychological boost ahead of the 2018
FIFA World Cup qualifier against Zambia next month,” the Super Eagles defense
ace said.
The former captain of Sunshine Stars while calling on Nigerians
to give maximum support to the team, said victory for the Eagles will serve as
perfect way of thanking them for their support.
"Nigerians have been so supportive and a win against
Tanzania will be best way to say thank you. It is also important for the fans
to come out in their thousands to give support to the team and serve as the
12th player".
