The Super Eagles enter the quarterfinal clash against Algeria on Saturday night with a sense of confidence, having secured victories in all four of their matches thus far in regular time.
In addition to Nigeria, Adepoju emphasized Morocco, Ivory Coast, and Senegal as teams he believes have significant chances of clinching the title.
“Aside from the Super Eagles, Morocco has certainly made their mark,” Adepoju remarked on Eagle7 Sports Radio.
“We shouldn't dwell on their second-round match, which was challenging for them to win.
“Ivory Coast has shown remarkable strength from the beginning. Like Nigeria, they have been progressing well. Let's see how Egypt performs today.
“Senegal has also made a strong impression. These are formidable teams that could potentially win Afcon alongside Nigeria.”
