President Bola Tinubu has shared that he deliberately avoided watching the final match of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations out of concern for his health.
The president disclosed this on Monday evening while receiving the Super Falcons at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
“Honestly, I did not want to watch the match. I didn’t want high blood pressure.
“But people came into my room and turned on my TV to that channel.

When it was 2-0, I got very restless and very offended. But I was still there watching.
I was impressed by the indomitable spirit of resilience, determination and courage of the team,” he said.
The Falcons had staged a remarkable comeback, overturning a 2-0 deficit to secure a dramatic 3-2 victory over Morocco in Sunday’s final held in Rabat.
