“We have defeated them (Bafana Bafana) last time we met during the AFCON and we expect to defeat them again.
“The only thing new is that we have a new coach in the person of Finidi George, so far, he is managing the Super Eagles in his first competitive match.
“We want to appeal to every Nigerian to rally round George and give him the best of support before, during and after the match against South Africa,” he said.
Ikpea said that George has started well with his policy of inclusion of the home based players in the team.
“The good thing is that the new coach extended an invitation to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) players in the national team, this is well commendable.
“The home based players in the team will want to fight for a place in the national team and also impress the football loving Nigerians, which will make it more competitive.
“The NPFL players in the team will also want to give their best, because they are hungry for a place in the national team.
“For us, we will make sure that the team does not lack support going to the game and after, this is what we are known for and what we will continue to do,” he said.
