President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Super Eagles
forward, Victor Osimhen, on winning the CAF 2023 Men’s Player of the Year
award.
The President also celebrated the remarkable achievements of
Asisat Oshoala of Nigeria’s Super Falcons, who clinched the 2023 CAF Women’s
Player of The Year for the sixth time, and Chiamaka Nnadozie, who was awarded
the Woman Goalkeeper of the Year, as well as the Super Falcons for emerging the
Women’s National Team of the Year.
Ajuri Ngelale, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity,
disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
Tinubu commended the trio of Osimhen, Oshoala, and Nnadozie for their outstanding performances on national and international stages, for being sources of pride to the nation, and for inspiring aspiring footballers across the continent.
“Watching the great ambassadors of Nigeria stand atop the
podium as the African Footballers of the Year, in the men and women categories,
on Monday night in Marrakesh, Morocco, has strengthened our belief that with
hard work, perseverance, and the help of God, everything this nation needs for
greatness is within us and available to us.
“I commend Victor and Asisat for not forgetting their roots
and days of humble beginnings in the game they love so much and for acknowledging
the role of indigenous coaches in shaping their careers.
“I join all Nigerian fans in praying that this well-deserved
honour will begin a continued journey filled with success, triumphs, and the
fulfilment of all your footballing dreams,” the President said.
Recall that Osimhen won the 2023 CAF Men’s Player of the
Year on Monday.
