Dapo Abiodun, the governor of Ogun State, has claimed that he recently adopted Tobi Amusan in order to advance her career.

This was mentioned by the governor in a message of congratulations to Amusan for helping Nigeria win the women's 100-meter hurdles gold medal at the 2022 World Athletics Championship.

Amusan's accomplishment in the sports competition's semifinals established a new global record, and she became the first Nigerian woman to win a World Championship.

Abiodun, however, said in a statement he personally signed on Monday in Abeokuta that Amusan's accomplishment had made the people of Ogun State proud.

Additionally, the governor wished Amusan success.

"We congratulate and celebrate with Ms. Tobi Amusan, a proud daughter of Ogun State whom I adopted a few months ago to help her career, on her gold-winning performance in the women's 100-meter hurdles in a time that broke the world mark (12.06 seconds).

"As a State, we are pleased with your accomplishments and wish you continued success in the years to come."

On April 26, the governor adopted Amusan.

The adoption came after Mr. Sunday Dare, the minister of youth and sports development, paid a visit to the governor. Through his adopt-a-talent program, state governors, private citizens, and corporate entities adopted some of the Tokyo Olympics athletes by contributing money directly to their accounts to aid in their early preparations for the Games.

Speaking to Sunday Dare on a courtesy call, Mr. Abiodun said he decided to adopt Amusan not just because she is a native of the region but also because she embodies the talent and perseverance of Nigerians.

After taking home a silver medal at the African Youth Championships in 2013, Amusan made her presence known before capping it off with a gold medal at the 2015 African Junior Athletics Championship in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia.

She earned the event's African champion title for 2019 and the 2018 Commonwealth.

Amusan has also won the African Games two times.

Following her accomplishment at the 2019 World Championships in Doha, she was rated fourth in the world.

Success has many friends

Stupid man . You claim to have adopted a full grown adult who is capable of bearing children. Someone that was schooling in Texas in 2016 at the University level.

Even if you sponsored her trainings in 2021, did you do it with your personal money or that of tax payers which you are a merely a custodian of.

Or on a good day, government is not meant to have programs in place to ensure athletes that represent the country are well trained and catered for.

Once again very stupid man.

Why u no adopt portable?

Nice one.

Some people wish it was Obi that did this.

Kenneth Aguba, to harness his renown
acting potentials

I know say everybody go soon dey snap with the Girl especially that VP wey like Camera pass woman....

Hmm,success they say has many parents,but failure is an orphan.Before now this man never mentioned that lady in any of his speeches,na now he remember he is her adopted father,he remain small make e talk say na him born am.
Just doing anything to get reelected.

I am just thinking,assuming (God forbid),if the International doping Agency find some banned substances in the lady's system,collect back her medals and ban her,I am 100% sure those politicians congratulating her now including her adopted father will dump her and throw her to the wolves.

Success has many friends but failure.....
Hustle ooh.
Before now, the Governor no talk, but after her wins yesterday, Ajala don go orphanage home adopt pikin.

Lol. Famzing. Congrats to Tobi and everyone that helped in her journey. Omooor, I thought I had no more feelings for this country until I watched her being presented with her medal and the national anthem being played. Cold enter my body walahi.
Schools are going on holidays soon and this is the best time for you to get a car, cruise around with your family during the holidays and prepare for school runs for the next academic year. I've got a few mouth watering auto deals lined up for you. Wwhy not click on my profile and check them out? And believe me, I've got more deals than jut those on my profile. Maybe you can also send a whatsapp message if none of those on the profile catches your fancy.

Congratulations to Tobi, looks like people that bears that name always excel. I hope Mr Governor actually did contribute financially or the money is still with accounts and will soon be released?

Crafty, Shameless politician.
