The Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila has expressed optimism that Nigeria would triumph over Algeria in the semi-final match at the on-going African Cup of Nations, AFCON in Egypt.
Gbajabiamila, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Lanre Lasisi, said his optimism was based on the superlative performance of the Super Eagles at the tournament.
He said that history would repeat itself during the semi-final between the Super Eagles and the Desert Foxes of Algeria.
It will be recalled that Gbajabiamila led a Federal Government delegation to boost the morale of the Super Eagles during their knockout-stage match against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon on Saturday, July 6.
The Super Eagles defeated the Lions by 3-2 and defeated Bafana Bafana of South Africa 2-1 during their quarter-final match.
