The National Youth Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dayo Israel, has procured a live cow and decorated it in Nigerian and APC colours to host a viewing party with the party youths based in Abuja for the Nigeria versus South Africa match in the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Cote d’Ivoire holding on Wednesday.

According to Israel, who took to his X account (formerly Twitter) to make the announcement, the party would be held at the APC national secretariat in Abuja at 6pm on Wednesday while the all-important semi-final match is ongoing.

He posted this on his verified X handle, “Join us at the special #AFCON2024 Semi-Final Match Watch Party organized by

“On weds 7th February. Everyone is invited and it’s free entry/open to all Nigerians, especially the Youth. Let’s support our own team irrespective of our party or political divide.
