The Executive Governor of Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, hosted Super Eagles star Bright Osayi-Samuel (M.O.N) at the Government House in Benin City, Edo State.


In a brief ceremony held inside the Government House, Governor Obaseki praised Bright Osayi-Samuel for remembering his roots and coming to identify with his people.


"I sincerely tell you today that it's a pleasure hosting you at the Government House, looking at the exploits you have been achieving out there at AFCON with the Super Eagles of Nigeria and your club in Turkey. We are proud of you for coming back home to identify with your origins; it means so much."


"You can see the transformation our government has made across every sector. Any day you are off-season, kindly come back home and be sure of having a great time."


In response, the Super Eagles star and Fenerbahçe defender Bright Osayi-Samuel thanked the Governor for everything and mentioned that he will support the Edo State U-13 football championship.


"I have been coming to Nigeria for some time now, but I have never been to Edo State before. So, when the opportunity came up, I was delighted, and today I am here to see and identify with my people."


"My roots are here, and I have decided to give back by sponsoring the Edo State FA U-13 football championship that will start soon, where some talents will be discovered to follow in my footsteps."


Wrapping up the ceremony, Bright Osayi-Samuel (M.O.N) presented jerseys from both his Super Eagles appearances to Governor Godwin Obaseki, First Lady Betty Obaseki, and former President of Nigeria Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.


Also in attendance were Bright's father and mother, Sir Nelson Osayi and Mrs. Oredola Osayi-Samuel, Ademola Lookman's father, Edo State FA Chairman Mr. Fred Newton Erhunmwunse, family, and friends.
