Senator Shehu Sani, has on Monday, mocked President Muhammadu Buhari for the defeat of the Super Eagles by Tunisia, on Sunday, at the ongoing AFCON 2021, by 1-0,
He joined other Nigerians who have mocked the President for the defeat of the Eagles, after an earlier video call to them from him, ahead of the game.
Senator Shehu Sani reacting, tweeted: “He toucheth the pigeon, it refused to fly. He talketh to the Eagle, it refused to fly. Oh yea brethren, thy King in Egypt hath no miracles but pyramids.”
Recall, that in January 2021, during the Armed Forces Remembrance Day ceremony, the doves, otherwise known as white pigeons, released by President Buhari had refused to fly, despite multiple attempts by the President and his Officials, thereby sparking a debate on the social media, regarding the ‘bad luck’ of the President.
Recall also, that the Eagles had won all their 3 matches at the group stage in the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, in Cameroon, but lost to Tunisia on Sunday, in Round 16.
Shortly before the game with Tunisia, President Buhari held a video conference with Coach Austin Eguavoen, from the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, in Abuja, urging the team to “keep doing the country proud”, but the Eagles were kicked out of the tournament hours later.
