Allen Onyema, chief executive officer of Air Peace, says he
will give the Super Eagles N20 million if they beat Cape Verde in their 2022
FIFA World Cup qualifying clash.
Onyeama’s pledge was announced in a video shared on the
social media page of the Super Eagles on Monday.
The Gernot Rohr’s boys will take on the Blue Sharks of Cape
Verde at the Estadio Municipal Aderito Sena on Tuesday.
They will, however, be without key players like Wilfred
Ndidi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Leon Balogun, Alex Iwobi, and others who play in
England.
“If you win this match, I am going to give the team N20
million on arrival. I’ll bring the cash and hand it over,” Onyema said.
“This will serve as a stepping stone in unifying our Nation.
Go there and die for the country.
“You won your first match resoundingly, and we expect that
the one happening in Cape Verde in 24hours time will not be different.
“Gentlemen, why I came to the airport at this time of the
day 2 am to address is because of this. You are not just going to play
football. You’re going to carry on your young shoulders the aspirations and the
hopes of a Nation. You must help us in restoring hope to this country.
“Nigeria is a great country with so much potentials to
achieve. We are yet to get there. We may have our differences but we love
ourselves.
“We knew some of our players have to leave after the match
and they had to do well before leaving because they cannot go to Cape Verde.”
Air Peace recently sealed a contract with the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) to be the official carrier of the nation’s national
teams.
