Arsenal FC has one of its largest support bases outside of England in Nigeria. A huge number of the country’s 150 million people support the Gunners and this has not gone unnoticed by the Arsenal players.
Club captain Cesc Fabregas recently sent a message to his Nigerian followers on his official twitter page.
“Goodluck to Goodluck Jonathan. Nigerian new president,” Fabregas wrote playing a pun with the name of the newly elected president from last week's elections.
“I love all fans in Nigeria. Big hug to you all. Now time to sleep. Good night!”
Even though the Gunners’ fortunes have not been great in recent times, the huge fan base in many Nigerian cities is still faithful to the north London club.
This message of love from Fabregas can only ensure that Nigerian fans will continue to support the club through thick and thin.
