President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu has dubbed Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen the “new king of Serie A” following Napoli’s scudetto victory.
According to reports, the Nigerian delivered the Azzurri their first Serie A title in 33 years after scoring a scudetto-sealing equalizer in Thursday’s 1-1 draw with Udinese.
Tinubu responded on Twitter on Sunday, praising Osimhen for upholding Nigeria’s fine tradition of global football excellence.
He stated that Nigerians are proud of Osimhen and wish him success in his already illustrious career.
“I think we can all agree that there was another coronation in Italy where our son, Victor Osimhen, claimed the crown as the new monarch,” he wrote.
Serie A’s undisputed champion! Victor, or idán gangan as younger people may refer to him, has continued Nigeria’s fine tradition of global footballing excellence. We are all proud of him and wish him the best in his already illustrious career.”
