Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, has extended heartfelt congratulations to Nigeria’s Super Falcons following their triumph at the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), describing the victory as a testament to the “indomitable Naija spirit.”
In a statement issued on Sunday, Obi praised the team for their resilience, courage, and unwavering determination, which led them to a dramatic and hard-fought victory over host nation Morocco in the WAFCON final.
“Not just the first to get it done, but the best to ever do it,” Obi declared. “This is more than a win—you have shown true dominance in African football.”
The Super Falcons came from behind to secure a 3-2 win, clinching their 10th WAFCON title and reinforcing their legacy as the most successful women’s football team on the continent.
Obi, who said he closely followed the match, described the players’ performance as “an exemplary display of the indomitable Nigerian spirit,” adding that their success offered renewed hope and pride for the nation.
“From every Nigerian heart across the world, we say thank you for making us proud,” Obi said. “Today, history bows to your greatness. Congratulations, Super Falcons. Mission X—done and dusted.”
He concluded his message with a reaffirmation of his campaign mantra, stating: “A new Nigeria is POssible.”
The Super Falcons’ victory has been widely celebrated across the country, with tributes pouring in from political leaders, sports stakeholders, and fans alike.
