President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday received an autographed glove from former two-time World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Anthony Joshua.
This was during a visit to the President at his residence in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria on Wednesday.
It would be recalled that Presidential Spokesperson, Mr, Bayo Onanuga disclosed in a statement on December 18th, 2024, that President Bola Tinubu will spend the Christmas and New Year holidays in Lagos State.
Joshua has earlier visited the Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, who bestowed him with the Yoruba name, ‘Omobowale’, meaning ‘the child who has come home.’
The governor also described the boxer as a worthy ambassador of the state.
In his remarks, Joshua said, “My coming home is intentional. I brought my son and some other relatives of mine to Ogun State to learn the culture of our people. I appreciate the Governor for honouring me, and I am fully committed to the development of boxing and other grassroots sports in Ogun State and Nigeria in general.”
