The Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, has said that Nigerians are now more divided like never before.
He, however, noted that a brilliant outing by the Super Eagles at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia would help to heal the wounds of the divisions in the country.
Ekweremadu said this in a goodwill message to the Super Eagles as they prepare for their first match in Russia.
The message was contained in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Uche Anichukwu.
The Deputy Senate President said he believed the Gernot Rohr-tutored team would do well, charging them to go for goals.
He said, “Nigeria is more divided today than at any other time in her history. But for us, football is the tonic that heals old wounds. We need a truly super and brilliant outing by the Super Eagles at the event to help reunite a divided nation.
“They have the experience, skill, and the indomitable Nigerian spirit to do the nation and Africa proud. They also have the prayers and goodwill of the over 180 million Nigerians behind them.”
