Jonathan to storm Brazil for World Cup

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has promised to be physically present in Brazil this summer to support the Super Eagles in their quest to lift the prestigious FIFA World Cup trophy, as ‘Nigeria’s Official Number One Supporter.’

Speaking at a colourful ceremony inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja yesterday morning, where he was decorated as Grand Patron of Nigeria Football Supporters Club, President Jonathan also hailed the efforts of the National Sports Commission, Nigeria Football Federation and Nigeria Football Supporters Club in the numerous successes that

Nigeria National Teams have achieved in the recent past.

“This ceremony however officially confers on me the formal responsibility of leading our supporters in cheering our national football teams whenever we’re engaged in competitions. I hope to be with you in Brazil. The supporters clubs has come of age having been in existence for about 57 years now.

“I’m aware that the activities of the club center primarily on rendering the necessary supports for all the national football teams anywhere they’re involved in football competitions. I want to commend the Nigerian supporters club for services to our great country. I’m told some of you make great sacrifices of funding your trips to competitions in support of our national teams. Your services are voluntarily and purely out of passion for football and patriotism for your father land,” he said.
