Forty-eight hours after President Goodluck Jonathan
honoured the Super Eagles and rewarded them with cash, national honours and
plots of land in Abuja, Delta State Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan takes his turn
on Thursday to thank the team for making Nigeria proud at the 2013 Africa Cup
of Nations in South Africa.
Uduaghan will receive the team in Asaba where plans
have been made to not only honour the players and coaches but also to make
Delta people feel the Eagles and be part of the history they made by winning
the Nations Cup with a 1-0 victory over Burkina Faso in the final last Sunday.

“Asaba will almost close up for the Eagles,” the
Executive Chairman of Delta State Sports Commission Amaju Pinnick, said on
Wednesday.
Amaju said that the players will ride in a motorcade
on the streets of Asaba and would later be entertained at the Dome.
“It will be a night of entertainment,” Amaju said.
“Top musicians like
Inyanya, Ice Prince, D’Prince, Dr.
Sid, Chudike and Burna Boy will play. It
will be a Valentine Night for Eagles in Asaba. Notable comedians like I Go Die,
Okey Bakasi, Seyi Law, Da Klint De Drunk, Elemu and AY will also entertain on
the night. His Excellency, Dr. Uduaghan will appreciate the team. He had
breakfast with the current and past Warri Wolves players in the team in Abuja.”
