"At least there will be a representation at Equatorial Guinea. I believe Joseph Lamptey and Malik Seidu Salifu will be there. They have done  a lot, the  most recent one was the Algeria -Mali game in Mali, it was a  very good game as well as Burkina Faso -Gabon qualifiers in Gabon. So based on the performances they have exhibited I believe that CAF will deem it wise to send them to the AFCON 2015"Ref Wellington confidently told JOY Sports.
