Rasheedat Ajibade, Captain of the continent conquering Super Falcons, that recently won the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Championship, WAFCON 2024, in Morocco, following a remarkable comeback have appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to redeem his $100,000 promise to the team.

 

Speaking in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, in a Podcast, the former Atletico Madrid Female Team winger, said that all the promises made by President Tinubu is yet to be fulfilled, that she remains optimistic that it would be fulfilled soonest.

 

“All the promises made to us, the $100,000 pledge by President Tinubu, we are yet to receive them, because a lot of people have asking for their share.

 

“We have not received the money, but they will pay. All the promises are yet to be received, people have already shared the money we haven’t received (laughs), but we have not received it yet.

 

“We strongly believe that the pledge will be redeemed. If we receive the money it will be in the public domain”, Ajibade stated.

 

Following the revelation of Ajibade, Nigerians have continued to take a troll on the President Tinubu administration, urging them to fulfill their pledge.

 

Femi Akano, a Sport enthusiast, reacting to the failure of the FG to redeem its pledge to the Super Falcons said, “This shouldn’t be a similar case of tye victorious Super Eagles team that won AFCON 1994, that were just been gifted their houses 33 years after, when most of the players have died.

 

“We don’t want ‘audio money’, the President should redeem his pledge in earnest”.

 

Similarly, @John_Vic, a X User, reacting to the interview said, “I Never knew the President is yet to give this Ladies the $100,000 promise, and he was making the announcement as if they would be paid immediately.

 

“Let us hope he pays them the money before the year runs out”.
