Super Falcons forward Stella Mbachu has pleaded with the incumbent president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, to fulfill his promised grand reception for the side before leaving office on May 29.

The president promised to host the Super Falcons for emerging winners of the ninth Africa Women Championship (AWC) in Namibia.
The Falcons edged perennial rivals Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon 2-0 in the final to claim their seventh title of the biennial football showpiece at the Sam Nujoma Stadium in Windhoek, Namibia.
Seven months after the heroic performance and barely 10 days to the termination date of the current regime, the nation’s heroines are yet to be received by the sitting president, Dr Jonathan.
Mbachu said it will be a huge discouragement and disincentive on the side’s quest for honour at the upcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada should Mr President leave office on May 29 without the promised reception seeing the light of the day.
“I just want to remind the president, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, in case he has forgotten that he is yet to fulfill his promise to host us for winning the 9th Africa Women Championship in Namibia.
“I understand that efforts have been made in the past months to no avail to host us due to his tight schedules but the president would’ve etched his name in gold and in our minds by finding time to host us as a befitting parting gift.
“Failure to host us before quitting office on May 29 will be a discouragement and setback on the side’s determination to excel at the World Cup in Canada.
“It’ll further send a strong wrong signal to the side that no one can be held or trusted on his/her promises.
“I’m passionately begging the president to reconsider his stand to host the side as such act will go a long way to motivate the team at the World Cup,” said the Rivers Angels winger and 300 level sociology student of University of Port Harcourt.
Falcons will compete for honour at the World Cup in Group D alongside former champions, USA, Sweden and Australia.
