Esther Okoronkwo publicly rejected a fabricated quote attributed to her by the Instagram page @RenewedHope2027.
After the Super Falcons’ triumphant WAFCON 2025 campaign, that page published a quote suggesting she had praised President Tinubu, saying one would “fall in love with him” after meeting him. In response, Esther shared a screenshot on her Snapchat with the caption:
Abeg, when did I talk this one?” accompanied by a shaking-head (SMH) emoji
The post—made on July 29, 2025—surfaced just days after she was awarded the OON national honor by the President. Esther swiftly moved to clarify that she never made that statement.
In short: the quote was completely fabricated, and Esther responded immediately to debunk it.
