Buhari Congratulates IBF World Heavyweight Champion by amzee(m): 8:29am On Apr 25, 2016
ABUJA - The presidency has congratulated Mr. Anthony Femi Joshua, Nigerian-born British citizen who recently won the IBF
World Heavy-weight Champion.

The congratulations came through a statement by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Diaspora and Foreign Relations, Honourable Abike Dabiri-Erewa.

Erewa said that that Femi’s wins reflected his hard work, tireless dedication and a brave heart which he had displayed.

The statement further revealed that “The British professional boxer, was born to a Nigerian mother and father, spent his
early years in Nigeria before returning to the UK.
“He is now the current IBF heavyweight champion who also holds the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles.

“Joshua is ranked the world’s sixth best heavyweight boxer by The Ring magazine and the second boxer in history to win a professional world heavyweight title doubling as the Olympic champion at the top weight.

“Femi, however, will be defending his title by June 25th, 2016.”

In a related development, Dabiri Erewa has also described the approval of the 300 million Diaspora Bond passed by the
National Assembly unanimously as a good development.

The presidential scribe however,
encouraged all Nigerian patriots in the Diaspora to take advantage of the Diaspora Bond.

According to her, “5 – 10 years maturity and annual dividends between five percent and eight percent way more than bank deposit or certificate of deposit
which is within two percent interest rates are certainly a plus for patriotic investors.”

She noted “that the bond will give
opportunities to patriots to actively engage in the welfare of their loved country, Nigeria.”

He's promoting British boxing not Nigerian boxing, we should rather be celebrating Samuel Peter who promoted Nigeria to the highest level of boxing. By the way, is Samuel Peter still alive?
