Dare in an interview with the media disclosed that Buhari questioned him on why he did not travel to Ghana with the Eagles for the first leg.

“I was in Lagos yesterday (Tuesday, March 22, 2022) and the president (Muhammadu Buhari) ask me why was I not in Ghana and I realised that the president also knows that there is a Ghana match," he said as quoted by ghanasoccrenet.com.

He continues that, Buhari attending the second leg is uncertain but the president could show up as a surprise.

“He has not given me 100 percent assurance but he is likely going to show up here (second leg) on the 29th as a surprise.”
