Chief Donatus Agu-Ejidike, Nigeria's Pillar of Sports,  has congratulated the Super Eagles following their impressive performance against Mozambique in Monday's 2025 AFCON Round of 16 clash which the three-time Champions effortlessly won 4-0 to seal their place in the quarter finals, Exclusivenews.com.ng reports.

Ejidike, who also doubles as the Patron of the Nigerian Football Supporters Club, described the performance as a 'statement win', —one that reflects character, resilience, and renewed belief, especially in the wake of the disappointment of missing out on qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The former Karate Federation of Nigeria, KFN President pointed out that football, like life, always offers a chance at redemption to those willing to stay the course.

The Nnewi-born sports philanthropist commended the senior National Team  players for their professionalism, determination and fighting spirit as well as the technical crew led by Eric Sekou Chelle for tactical clarity and discipline, and all stakeholders—administrators, support staff, and fans at home and abroad, whose collective contributions have powered the team’s progress so far.

“The victory against Mozambique was not just about goals; it's more about attitude, conviction, and responding to criticism with performance,” Chief Agu-Ejidike stated. 

“This team has shown that tournaments are not won on pages of newapaper, but on the pitch.”

While celebrating the achievement, Chief Ejidike urged the Super Eagles to remain fully focused, avoid distractions, and approach the remaining matches with hunger and humility.

“The job is not finished yet. Nigeria is a footballing nation with history and pride. The target must remain clear—nothing less than lifting the AFCON trophy for the fourth time", the business mogul charged, reaffirming his confidence in the team’s ability to go all the way, just as he called on Nigerians everywhere to continue to stand behind the Super Eagles with unwavering support.

“Let belief replace doubt. Let unity fuel ambition. The nation stands with you", Ejidike emphasised
