AFCON 2023: We never solicited for funds from Mr. President, says SESC scribe Aguh

The Secretary General of the Super Eagles Supporters Club (SESC), Francis Aguh has issued a disclaimer on some dissident members of the club that are allegedly using the name of the association to solicit funds from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying the National President of the SESC, Prince Vincent Okumagba has been the one responsible for the welfare of all the bonafide members who moved from Nigeria to Cote d’Ivoire to cheer the national team to victory.

Reacting to a publication from Cote d’Ivoire, the venue of the on-going 34th edition of AFCON, Francis Aguh disclosed to newsmen that It has come to the notice of the club that some people are using the name of the Super Eagles Supporters Club to seek for financial favour from Mr. President.

“We want to state categorically that the SESC dully registered and led by its National President, Prince Vincent Okumagba did not put out such publication and want to dissociate himself from such act.

The Super Eagles Supporters Club led by Prince Okumagba are on ground supporting the Super Eagles of Nigeria, we are not hungry as we are being financed one hundred percent by our National President, hence we want to distance ourselves from such publication that is capable of tarnishing the image of Nigeria,” Francis Aguh noted.

He however reiterated their commitment to offer full support to the Eagles in their subsequent games especially their quarter-final match against Angola on Friday

Aguh urged the Super Eagles to approach Angola’s game with all seriousness and determination in order to record a resounding victory.

“We on our own part will give the necessary moral support from the stand like we have been doing in the past matches”, he concluded
