You have, by your victory, reminded us that the path through which one attains victory in any endeavor must be excellent. By towing the path of hard work and determination, you broke a world record.

“Millions of people across the world are now inspired by you. I remain committed to building a new Nigeria that will provide various noble and productive platforms for Nigerian youths to live out their dreams and compete favourably on the global stage,” he tweeted.
