The First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged the Super Falcons to win the FIFA Women’s World Cup finals holding in Australia and New Zealand.
Oluremi gave the charge in Abuja on Saturday while hosting the team to a dinner ahead of its departure on Sunday for the tournament which starts July 20 and ends August 20.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, she was represented by the All Progressives Congress National Women Leader, Betta Edu.
She stated that Nigeria’s appearance at the 9th FIFA Women’s World Cup must be for the noble purpose of bringing the coveted cup home.
She said, “It is important that you remain committed by playing together as a team; no one should think that she’s a better player than the other.
“It is only when you play as a team that you can record success. It is my expectation that this time, you will surpass your previous efforts.
“I am sure that 99.9 per cent of Nigerians will stay glued to their television sets to watch you. Please try your best to bring the cup home.”
While expressing her faith in the ability and pedigree of the team to excel at the mundial, the first lady promised to receive the team herself when they bring the cup home.
