A governorship aspirant under the banner of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, AMBO, has congratulated Nigeria’s women’s national football team, the Super Falcons, on their spectacular triumph at the just concluded 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The Chief Executive Officer of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA),in a statement on Sunday, specifically commended Osun-born football star and Super Falcons’ captain, Rasheedat Ajibade, for her inspirational leadership, creative brilliance, and outstanding performance that contributed to Nigeria’s victory at the continental tournament.
Super Falcons claimed a dramatic 3-2 win over hosts Morocco in the WAFCON final, once again reinforcing their dominance in African women’s football.
Oyebamiji, a former Osun State Commissioner for Finance, also extended heartfelt congratulations to Nigerians and President Bola Tinubu for what he described as the administration’s “transformative support for youth, sports and women empowerment.”
He said, “I am deeply delighted and proud to join millions of Nigerians in celebrating our phenomenal Super Falcons for this historic WAFCON victory. Against all odds, our women triumphed with strength, skill and unity. They have etched their names on the golden pages of history and made the nation proud once again”
Oyebamiji described Ajibade as a true ambassador of Osun and a symbol of excellence.
“Captain Rasheedat Ajibade’s performance was nothing short of exceptional. Her leadership, talent, and passion on the field are a great inspiration to the next generation, especially young girls across Nigeria. She has made Osun proud,” he added.
The APC chieftain linked the Super Falcons’ success to the ongoing positive reforms under the Tinubu-led administration, noting that the Renewed Hope Agenda continues to yield results across key sectors, particularly in youth and sports development.
“This victory is not just a win for football; it’s a testament to the bold, strategic vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. His administration has consistently prioritized youth and sports, and this win is a reflection of those investments,” he said.
Oyebamiji urged Nigerians to continue supporting the nation’s teams and build on the momentum of national pride.
“This trophy is a symbol of our resilience, unity, and excellence as a nation. Congratulations once again to the Super Falcons, to President Tinubu, and to every Nigerian. The future is bright.”
