The former Governor of Anambra State said, “I celebrate his dogged will to fight, his determination to win and his focus on victory.”
Obi said: “I rejoice with our own dear
@anthonyjoshua, who defeated his stand-in opponent, Robert Helenius, in their heavyweight bout on Saturday night.
“Remarkably, Joshua’s seventh-round knockout of his Finnish opponent was his first knockout win since he defeated Kubrat Puliev on December 12, 2020. It is also the 23rd knockout win of his career.
“I celebrate his dogged will to fight, his determination to win and his focus on victory. Just like Joshua, all Nigerian youths should be free to discover their talents and fully harness their potential in a safe and secure nation with a supportive government and
“accountable leadership. Joshua’s fighting spirit should inspire all Nigerians to strive to win in every field. His victory should fuel our optimism and confidence that we are a nation of winners despite the setback of abysmal leadership.
“The best is POssible and we will make it happen in the New Nigeria.”
