President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday revealed that he didn’t watch the live match of the 2024 WAFCON final between Nigeria and Morocco.

Tinubu, who was speaking while receiving the Super Falcons team at the Presidential Villa on Monday said he avoided watching the WAFCON final live because he didn’t want to trigger his blood pressure.
