The President, in a release issued Monday
by his spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu, stated that
Morocco has made the entire continent proud
with their grit and dexterity, giving hope that an African team can indeed win,
and should win the ongoing global championship in Qatar.
President Buhari commended the team for
their skill and teamwork, noting at the same time that this could not have been
achieved without the exemplary role of the Moroccan authorities in putting
together a formidable team.
