Victor Osimhen captained Galatasaray S.K. to the Turkish Süper Lig title with a magnificent performance, scoring twice in the final victory that sealed the championship. Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate for the Labour Party, has congratulated Osimhen.
Obi praised Osimhen on Monday in a post on his verified X Twitter, saying that Osimhen is a shining example of Nigerian pride on the international scene.
He went on to say that Osimhen is just one of many talented Nigerians who, given the correct guidance, encouragement, and setting, have the potential to become household names.
An enormous number of young Nigerians look up to you as an example of the transformative power of perseverance, self-control, and brilliance.
Your accomplishments and demeanour have brought respect to our nation, and you have continued to be a proud representative of Nigeria abroad. The people of Nigeria are quite pleased with you and your achievements so far.
Sports have the ability to change lives and provide young people with so many chances; I have talked about this before. This is why it is so unfortunate that our nation has consistently disregarded the sector.
A new Nigeria, in which all areas expand at the same time to ensure the country’s balanced development and health, is possible, he wrote again.
