Reacting via his Twitter account on Sunday, Tinubu praised Osimhen for continuing the fine tradition of Nigerian football excellence on the world stage.
He said Nigerians are proud of Osimhen and wish him success in his already excellent career.
He wrote:
“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.”
