Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga has defended President Bola Tinubu’s generous reward to the Super Falcons following their WAFCON victory in Morocco.
In a post on social media, Onanuga compared the backlash to the ₦150 million prize given to Big Brother Naija winners, stating that the President simply rewarded excellence, hard work, and national pride.
Each Super Falcons player received the naira equivalent of $100,000, a national honour, and a three-bedroom apartment.
Onanuga urged Nigerians to appreciate the recognition of sporting excellence, highlighting the team’s incredible comeback to defeat Morocco and clinch Nigeria’s 10th WAFCON title.
