President-elect Bola Tinubu has hailed Napoli striker, after he led Napoli to winning the Scudetto after 33 years.
Tinubu in social media post on Sunday evening praised lanky striker for his exploit which he said has continued to showcase the ‘Nigeria’s footballing excellence’.
“I think we can all agree that there was another coronation in Italy where our son, Victor Osimhen, claimed the crown as the new King of Serie A!
“The real deal, or idán gangan as younger folks may describe him; Victor has continued the fine tradition of Nigeria’s footballing excellence on the global stage.
“We are all proud of him and wish him well in what is already a remarkable career,” he wrote.
This post comes less than 24 hours after Nigerians knocked Italian Football League Serie A for uploading a picture of the late Diego Maradona crowning Georgian international, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, with the caption,“A new king is crowned in Napoli”.
Osimhen scored 22 goals including the title winning goal against Udinese to give Napoli the Scudetto.
