Nigeria’s U-23 defender, Seun Olulayo says that the Dream Team VI will win the 2016 Olympics football gold for President Muhammadu Buhari for gratifying the team.
Coach Samson Siasia’s boys were given N500,000 by the Federal Government for winning the 2015 African U23 Championship in Senegal at a reception held at the State House, Abuja on Thursday.
According to the Sunshine Stars’ player, Buhari’s gesture will stimulate his side to victory at the Rio Olympics billed for August this year.
“That is my biggest highlight in my career, Olulayo told Goal. “It’s not easy shaking hands with the President of Nigeria because we made the nation proud.
“We [Dream Team VI] have vowed to win the 2016 Olympics for him to appreciate him for his honour.
“It will not be a stroll in the park for us, but we will certainly do all it takes to make him [Buhari] happy as well as all Nigerians,” he said.
Having missed out of the London 2012 Olympics, Siasia who led Nigeria’s U-23 team to a silver medal finish at the Beijing 2008 Olympics will be aiming to lead the country to win her second Olympics football gold medal in Brazil.
