According to him" Nigerians are solidly behind you as you take on the Squirrels of Benin Republic in a Nations Cup qualifier.

"The match is important, hence you must put in your best to ensure victory. You started the series well, so you have a duty to finish well and pick a ticket for the Nations Cup.

"No match comes easy, there are no minnows, so don't underrate your opponents because football is unpredictable.

"I urge you to be inspired by the Nigerian spirit of excellence by soaring like the great Eagles you are."

The Benin vs Nigeria matchday five fixture will be held at the Stade Charles de Gaulle on Saturday, starting from 1700 hours.
