Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has congratulated Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen following his impressive performances that helped Galatasaray clinch the Turkish Süper Lig title.
Osimhen scored twice in the decisive victory that sealed the championship for the Turkish giants, further cementing his status as one of Nigeria’s leading football exports.
In a statement shared on his X handle on Monday, Obi praised the Super Eagles forward for his resilience, discipline, and commitment to excellence.
“I want to join other fans in congratulating one of Nigeria’s many talented exports, Victor Osimhen, for successfully leading Galatasaray to the Turkish Süper Lig title with a brilliant performance, scoring twice in the decisive victory that sealed the championship,” Obi said.
He added that Osimhen’s achievements continue to inspire millions of young Nigerians to believe in hard work and dedication.
“Your resilience, discipline, and talent continue to inspire millions of young Nigerians to believe in the power of hard work, dedication, and excellence. You have remained a proud ambassador of Nigeria on the global stage, bringing honour to our nation through your achievements and conduct,” he stated.
Obi also used the opportunity to stress the importance of investing in sports development in Nigeria, lamenting what he described as the neglect of the sector despite the abundance of talent in the country.
