Two time African footballer of the year, Kanu Nwankwo has hailed the Super Eagles for their qualification for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations but has insisted that a lot of work still needed to be done before the tournament kicks off next January in South Africa.
Kanu, a veteran of the Nations Cup himself, made his views known at the U.J Esuene Stadium, Calabar, shortly after the encounter between the Eagles and Liberia which ended 6-1 in favour of Nigeria.
A joyful Kanu stressed that he was happy to be part of those that witnessed the Eagles deliver the Nations Cup ticket after the sour ending to the 2012 campaign when they missed out on a place to the Syli Stars of Guinea in front of their vociferous fans in Abuja.
“It is an honour to witness this match. It was an emphatic win and I will advise all those that made the ticket to the Nations Cup not to relax until the Eagles make a meaningful impact at the Nations Cup and also grab a World Cup slot too,” Kanu added.
