Following Nigeria’s emphatic defeat of Angola in the AFCON quarter-final match, Nigerians are in a postscript digesting the impact and presence of two of the nation’s most prominent citizens at the stadium, Peter Obi and Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The camera captured a jubilant Peter Obi donning the Super Eagles Jersey with the inscription “Authentic” at the back. The unexpected sight of the political figure cheering for the national team quickly spread across social media, sparking excitement even beyond his normally festive supporters christened as Obidients.
Pictures of Peter Obi in the vibrant green jersey flooded timelines, showcasing a moment of unity and patriotism.
Meanwhile, the presence of Senate President Godswill Akpabio at the AFCON quarter final match went unnoticed perhaps overshadowed by the enthusiastic attention on Peter Obi.
A Twitter user humorously pointed out the irony, stating, “A whole Nigerian Senate President Godswill Akpabio was in Ivory Coast to see the Nigeria VS Angola game, But nobody noticed him 😭😭😭😩😂😭.”
The tweet continued to highlight the dominance of Peter Obi in stealing the spotlight, emphasizing that “Peter Obi took all the ATTENTION, you can’t buy this LOVE 😭😩😂😂 if not for the camera that captured him, we wouldn’t have noticed him😭.”
