Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina has come out to say that it is idiotic to say the Super Eagles crashed out of AFCON because Muhammadu Buhari called the team.

He recently had his say via a statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, it is a total shame because the same people would have come out to condemn Buhari if the Super Eagles had gone into the game without encouragement from him.

He added that head or tail, it is clear that you’ll never win with some Nigerians

His words, “I have read many silly, idiotic and imbecilic comments, trying to link the loss to the video conference the President had with the players on Sunday morning. Witless. Thoughtless. And incidentally, if the Super Eagles had gone into the match without encouragement from their President, the same people would have come out to condemn the leader of the country for being taciturn and insensitive. Head or tail, you never win with some Nigerians.”

“There are countries, and football teams, who have established a tradition for being outstanding in soccer. But such teams and countries have lost scandalously before, underscoring the truth that losing is part of the game.”
