Led by coach Justine Madugu, the reigning champions will head into the 2026 edition determined to defend their title. The tournament will also serve as a qualifying event for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, adding extra motivation for the Nigerian side to maintain their supremacy.

Okoronkwo, one of the key figures in the Falcons’ attack, revealed that the entire team is fired up and fully focused on making history again.

“With Nigeria, everything is possible for sure,” she said. “We’re not going there to just participate or have fun; we’re going there to win our 11th WAFCON title, for sure.”

In a viral video circulating online, the Lagos transport chief and close ally of President Tinubu stated that the funds were drawn solely from his personal resources, insisting that he received no financial assistance from Abuja.

“I spent ₦756 million of my own money during the campaign. Nobody from Abuja gave me a dime. I paid for hotels and took care of everyone working day and night for Asiwaju’s victory,” MC Oluomo said.

The NURTW leader detailed that he booked 140 hotel rooms at ₦45,000 per night for four months and also financed daily stipends, logistics, and other campaign expenses for Nollywood actors, actresses, and volunteers who joined the campaign trail.

He explained that the heavy spending was aimed at ensuring effective mobilisation and coordination for Tinubu’s success across Lagos and other states. “I took care of accommodation, feeding, and transportation for all the campaign teams, including entertainers and volunteers who came to support us,” he added.

Reaffirming his loyalty to President Tinubu, MC Oluomo vowed to remain steadfast in his political support and revealed that plans were already underway for the 2027 general elections.

“We’re not resting. 2027 is around the corner, and we’re already working to make sure Asiwaju wins again,” he declared confidently.
