He wrote:
“The record-breaking story of Tobi Amusan earlier today is a story of Nigeria.
While we are happy for her success at the World Athletics Championships, Tobi has reminded us of what is possible when we believe in ourselves and the immense possibilities our great country offers.
She has also taught us to work hard and persevere knowing that success is a natural result from commitment to a goal.
On behalf of the people of Lagos, I congratulate on bringing honour to herself & to millions who will be inspired today because she dared to be different.”
