Victor Osimhen has received congratulations from Peter Obi following his outstanding performance that helped Galatasaray secure the Turkish Süper Lig title.
Osimhen scored twice in the decisive victory that sealed the league triumph for the Turkish giants, further strengthening his reputation as one of Nigeria’s finest football exports.
In a statement shared on his X handle on Monday, Obi praised the Super Eagles striker for his hard work, discipline, resilience, and commitment to excellence.
“I join millions of Nigerians and football lovers in congratulating Victor Osimhen for leading Galatasaray to the Turkish Süper Lig title with another brilliant display. Scoring twice in such a crucial match once again shows his quality, determination, and winning mentality,” Obi stated.
He noted that Osimhen’s rise and achievements continue to inspire many young Nigerians to remain focused, hardworking, and committed to their dreams.
“Your journey, resilience, and dedication continue to inspire countless young Nigerians to believe in hard work and excellence. You have continued to fly the Nigerian flag proudly on the global stage through your achievements and conduct,” he added.
Obi also stressed the need for greater investment in sports development in Nigeria, lamenting the neglect of the sector despite the country’s abundance of talent.
“I have consistently spoken about the power of sports in transforming lives and creating opportunities for young people. It is unfortunate that such an important sector continues to suffer neglect in our country,” he said.
According to him, Nigeria is blessed with talented youths capable of competing and excelling globally if provided with the right support and enabling environment.
“Nigeria is filled with gifted young people like Osimhen who only need proper leadership, support, and opportunities to succeed and bring honour to the nation,” Obi added.
