Peter Obi congratulates Osimhen on Turkish league triumph

By Daily Sports Nigeria on May 11, 2026

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.

“I have often spoken about the transformative power of sports and the immense opportunities it offers to young people. This is why the persistent neglect of the sector in our country is deeply regrettable,” he said.

According to him, Nigeria possesses many talented youths capable of excelling globally if given the right support and environment.

“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,” Obi added.

He reiterated his belief in the possibility of national growth across different sectors.

“I reiterate that a new Nigeria, where all sectors develop simultaneously for the balanced growth and health of the nation, is possible,” he said.

Obi concluded by wishing Osimhen greater success in the future as the striker continues to shine in European football.
