Labour Party’s 2023 Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, extended congratulations to Victor Osimhen, celebrating his triumph as the recipient of the Italian Footballers’ Association (AIC) Player of the Year award. Osimhen, a 24-year-old Nigerian talent, clinched this accolade after an exceptional season contributing to Napoli’s Serie A victory. His remarkable performance witnessed him scoring 26 goals across 32 league matches for Napoli, establishing himself as a scoring force for the Super Eagles.
Even in the ongoing 2023-24 season, Osimhen maintains his prolific form, netting six goals in 10 games by the 14th gameweek, despite encountering a more challenging start to the campaign. This achievement places him among esteemed footballers like Rafael Leao, Gianluigi Buffon, Cristiano Ronaldo, Andrea Pirlo, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who have previously claimed the same honor.
In expressing his joy, Peter Obi conveyed his heartfelt congratulations to the Nigerian superstar by tweeting on X “I would like to heartily congratulate our own International superstar, @victorosimhen9, who just won the Italian Footballers’ Association (AIC) Player of the Year award for the 2022/23 Serie A Season.”
