The former Lille striker is also now the highest scoring African in Serie A after moving ahead of George Weah.
Tinubu took to the social media to celebrate Osimhen.
“I think we can all agree that there was another coronation in Italy where our son, Victor Osimhen, claimed the crown as the new King of Serie A! The real deal, or idán gangan as younger folks may describe him; Victor has continued the fine tradition of Nigeria’s footballing excellence on the global stage. We are all proud of him and wish him well in what is already a remarkable career,” the politician wrote on his official Twitter handle.
