In the trending video, after exchanging a handshake with the third force presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Governor Yusuf of Kano was seen extending a handshake to the former Nigerian international. Still, he was holding back, and the governor had to slap his shoulder in the greetings.
Who is Ahmed Musa?
Musa was part of the Nigerian team that played at the recently concluded 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire. He did not play any match in the tournament but was said to have provided leadership input to the team.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria had put up an incredible performance in the tournament as they played unbeaten from the beginning until they lost to the host country in the final of the tournament.
However, Musa was part of Stephen Keshi, who won the 2013 AFCON in South Africa. The one-time BBC African Footballer of the Year also holds the record of being the only Nigerian player who has scored in two different World Cups.
