Peter Obi has congratulated Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen after his decisive role in securing the Turkish Süper Lig title for Galatasaray S.K., describing him as an inspiration to young Nigerians through discipline, hard work, and excellence.
In a statement posted on his X handle on Monday, Obi praised Osimhen for his standout performance, in which he scored twice in the title-clinching victory.
“I want to join other fans in congratulating one of Nigeria’s many talented exports, Victor Osimhen, for successfully leading Galatasaray S.K. to the Turkish Süper Lig title with a brilliant performance, scoring twice in the decisive victory that sealed the championship,” Obi wrote.
He described Osimhen as a proud ambassador of Nigeria who continues to bring honour to the country through his achievements and conduct on the global stage. According to him, the striker’s success underscores the transformative power of sports and the need for greater investment in the sector.
“The truth is that Nigeria is blessed with countless talents like Osimhen, waiting for the right leadership, support, and environment to rise, excel, and bring glory to the nation,” he stated.
The former Anambra State governor also lamented what he called the persistent neglect of sports development in Nigeria, stressing that proper investment in the sector could unlock opportunities for millions of young people.
Obi reaffirmed his belief in a “new Nigeria” where all sectors can develop simultaneously, while wishing Osimhen continued success in his career.
