Atiku wrote: “The historic victory of Ugo Ugochuckwu, whose Nigerian root is well-grounded at the 2024 FIA FR World Cup, makes me proud as a Nigerian.
To have been dubbed the next Lewis Hamilton, the well-decorated F1 racer, confirms that the 17-year-old’s victory at the 71st Macau Grand Prix was not a fluke.
As Ugo is set to compete in the FIA Formula 3 — the third-tier world racing championship — in 2025, let him be assured that he has a supporter in me.
Once again, congratulations, Ugo, and may you soar like an eagle. “
