President Bola Tinubu on Monday admitted that he avoided watching the WAFCON final live because he didn’t want to trigger his blood pressure.
Speaking while receiving the Super Falcons at the Presidential Villa, Tinubu said the tension of the match was too much to bear.
“I didn’t want to watch the match initially because I didn’t want high blood pressure. My wife was cooking my food in the kitchen and rushed out to tell me we had won,” the President said.
Chronicle NG reported that the President conferred national honours on all members of the Super Falcons squad for winning the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
He also pledged the naira equivalent of $100,000 to each of the 24 players and an additional $50,000 to members of the technical crew.
The Super Falcons defeated South Africa to clinch their 12th WAFCON title, reinforcing their dominance in African women’s football.
