Enoh disclosed this in a zoom meeting with the players on Wednesday night, January 24.
According to the minister, “I had a meeting with the President yesterday. I went to the villa for something else, the President cornered me and said we (Eagles) managed to qualify and I said that’s how we are going to keep going until I’m we win the tournament.
He said that I should tell the players that he wasn’t too impressed with the last match but he knows that now that they are off the group stages, they are going to impress him more.
That’s what the President told me and it means that the President is actually watching your matches.
