President Jonathan who could not go to South Africa to cheer the team to victory sent a delegate led by the Senate president, David Mark. He wasn’t there physically, but he was there in the spirit.

A source said the president jumped off his seat when he heard the final whistle.

The president will host the team on Tuesday.
