According to a post shared on its official X account on Saturday July 25, 2026, Nigeria’s Super Falcons announced its squad arrival in Rabat, Morocco, in a grand display of cultural elegance ahead of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The images quickly went viral, drawing widespread admiration from fans and supporters across the country and beyond.
The players, proudly sporting matching green and white tied-and-dyed Adire outfits, exuded both confidence and cultural pride. The elegant attire, a vibrant symbol of Nigeria’s rich textile tradition, perfectly blended athletic readiness with authentic Nigerian heritage.
He explained that the agreement was intended to ensure that power returned to the North after one term in line with the party’s internal power-sharing arrangement.
He further expressed confidence that Obi would honour the agreement, saying he had no reason to doubt the former Anambra State governor’s commitment.
While the reported agreement has drawn criticism from some northern groups and legal experts, it has also received support from others.
The Middle Belt Forum (MBF) welcomed Obi’s reported one-term pledge, describing it as acceptable. Speaking in a telephone interview with one of LEADERSHIP’s correspondents in Kaduna, the forum’s spokesman, Luka Binniyat, said the MBF had no objection to the arrangement, provided it paved the way for the Middle Belt to produce Nigeria’s president in 2031.
The MBF said, “By 2031, power should return to the North, to the Middle Belt. We all agreed in 2023 that power should be retained in the South up to 2031. Now, if Peter Obi signed that agreement, it is in order because the North will take over power.
“And when we say the North this time, we are talking about the Middle Belt; that power will return to the Middle Belt in 2031. And we have that agreement with all the major socio-cultural organisations of the South.
So, if Peter Obi will be doing that, and it is true, it means that the Middle Belt is getting more assurance that power will return to it.”
The Middle Belt Forum argued that the Muslim North had already enjoyed a significant share of the presidency since 1999 and maintained that, by 2031, it should be the turn of the Middle Belt to produce the country’s president.
The forum also stated that all political parties should field Christian candidates from the Middle Belt for the 2031 presidential election.
It added that, just as it had previously encouraged political parties to zone their presidential tickets to the South, it had observed that many of them were doing so.
According to the MBF, it had no objection to Peter Obi’s reported one-term commitment, provided it was part of an arrangement that would allow the Middle Belt to assume the presidency in 2031.
