“You have remained a proud ambassador of Nigeria on the global stage, bringing honour to our nation through your achievements and conduct,” Obi wrote, commending the striker’s performance and professionalism.

Osimhen’s standout display, which included two crucial goals, secured Galatasaray’s league title in a dominant finish to the season and further elevated his reputation as one of Africa’s leading football talents.
