Our prayer and fasting conquered the Indomitable Lions- Gov Emmanuel

The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, has said that Friday’s victory of Nigeria’s Super Eagles over the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon was the result of fasting and prayer.

“The victory of Super Eagles today against The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon is a testament to the fact that whenever we go on our knees and seek the face of God like we did today during our fasting and prayer session, God will answer our prayer,” the governor wrote on Facebook after the match.
