“The principal officers of the National Assembly and the two Committees on Sports will also be in Cote d’Ivoire to watch the quarter finals with Angola,” Sumaila said.
On the fate of the coach of the Super Eagles, Jose Peseiro, the lawmaker pointed out that “we will look at it after the competition, am sure of victory for the Super Eagles against Angola”.
The Super Eagles will face the Palancas Negras of Angola on Friday, February 2 in a crucial quarter-finals clash.
