“The Super Falcons have once again shown the world the strength, courage, and brilliance of Nigerian women,” she declared in a congratulatory statement. “Your passion, discipline, and unity on the field are a shining example to young girls everywhere that nothing good is beyond reach.”
Senator Tinubu applauded the team’s performance, highlighting their resilience and team spirit throughout the match against the reigning champions. She noted that the victory was not just about reaching the final, but also about inspiring millions of Nigerian girls with a message of hope and possibility.
“This win is more than just a ticket to the finals of the Championship,” she said. “It is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we believe in ourselves and stand together.”
The First Lady, who has consistently advocated for women empowerment, described the Super Falcons as ambassadors of excellence and determination. She expressed hope that their historic run in the tournament would culminate in lifting the trophy.
“I look forward to you lifting the Cup by the grace of God. May you finish strong,” she added.
