Vice President Kashim Shettima has celebrated with the Super Eagles after victory over South Africa’s Bafana Bafana at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 semi-final in Cote d’Ivoire.
The match finished 1-1 after extra time, and the three-time champions will face hosts Ivory Coast or the Democratic Republic of the Congo, who meet later in the final on Sunday.
Both regular-time goals also came from penalties, with captain William Troost-Ekong scoring after 67 minutes for Nigeria and Teboho Mokoena equalised from a 90th-minute spot-kick.
