In his congratulatory message, the Deputy Governor said :

"I am profoundly delighted to congratulate our own Victor Osimhen and Asisat Oshoala for bringing football glory to our dear country, Nigeria.  Super Eagles of Nigeria forward, Victor Osimhen, has been crowned the CAF Best Footballer of the year 2023 while Asisat Oshoala, for the record 6th time, clinched the CAF's African Best Women's Player of the Year 2023.  Indeed, the icing on the cake is the fact that for the very first time, these two prestigious football  titles  are won by Nigerians.

"No doubt, this is a great feat worth celebrating by sports enthusiasts, particularly football lovers in Nigeria and beyond, for the breath of fresh air the glamorous awards have  brought to Nigerian football.

"For me, these awards are  well deserved and befitting of the record-breaking  performances both of you have put up in your respective clubs outside our shores and of course, in the Nigeria male and female  national teams.

"Indeed, you have not only done well for yourselves,  you have made Edo and Ogun States proud and taken Nigerian football to the next level.

"Once again, congratulations and many more exploits in your football career".
