Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama has
promised to hand over the captain’s band to Joseph Yobo if Nigeria wins the
Africa Cup of Nations this Sunday in South Africa.
Enyeama, who has been acting as Eagles captain in
place of the off-form Yobo, said this Wednesday, during the post-match
interview, after Nigeria whipped Mali 4-1 in the semifinal in Durban.
“Yobo is still the
God is the source of my saves”, said Enyeama captain of the team. I am
just acting for him when he is not on the pitch. But when he is on the pitch,
he is the leader and captain. Anybody can be captain of the team. In fact, all
the players are all captains.

We all have the same purpose, which is to work
together for the team’s good.
“I do not want to take anybody’s position and that is the way it is. Joseph is the
captain and if we win the final on Sunday, he will go and pick the Cup as
captain.
He has served Nigeria on a number of occasions and
he is the man”, added Enyeama, who made some stunning saves to deny Mali of
adding to the lone goal they scored in yesterday’s match.
He also noted that God was the unseen hand behind
his heroics in the tournament so far.
“As a goalkeeper, I believe so much in God. It is
only God who does these things. As the scripture says, the race is not for the
swift or the strong but it is the Lord who shows mercy. (Vanguard)
