The Nigeria Football and other Sports Supporters Club on Thursday launched “Operation tame Indomitable Lions of Cameroon” programme ahead of the FIFA 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against the African champions come September 1 and 4, 2017.
The President General of the Nigeria Football Supporters Club, Dr. Rafiu Ladipo, alongside National Chairman, Rev. Samuel Ikpea, several officials and other members launched operation tame Cameroon at the International Secretariat in Lagos in apparent bid to drum support for the Gernot Rohr-handled Super Eagles squad.
“Operations tame Indomitable Lions is a special support code to us towards galvanising our dear Super Eagles to out class Cameroon. We are using this to remind Nigerians to fully support the Eagles morally in both Uyo and Yaoundé, Cameroon. We have to pray, fast and fully support our players and coaches so that Nigeria can qualify for the World Cup”, said Ladipo who disclosed that all State chapters of the Supporters Club would actively mobilize Nigerians ahead of both games.
Ladipo also appealed to the Nigeria Football Federation, Sports Ministry and other stakeholders to fully back the Supporters Club and not fraternise with some suspended members now illegally parading themselves as faction.
