Media personality Tacha has defended Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen following his on-pitch confrontation with teammate Ademola Lookman during Nigeria’s 4-0 victory over Mozambique in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on Monday.
The incident occurred during the match despite Lookman having assisted one of Osimhen’s goals earlier in the game.
Video footage showed Osimhen charging toward Lookman, while the latter maintained his composure throughout the exchange.
Reacting via X platform, Tacha stated that Nigerians are targeting Osimhen because “they have seen Osimhen finish”.
She compared Osimhen to Cristiano Ronaldo, questioning whether critics would apply the same standard to the football legend if he displayed similar behavior.
Tacha said: “Nigerians and see finish!! Y’all realize Victor Osimhen is our own Christiano Ronaldo??
“If Ronaldo did same thing we won’t have this much uproar but of course it’s Osimhen na.. make coach just Bench Osimhen for the next match i WON Check something. Baba was on to a hat-trick! you expect him not to shout!? make una dey calm down! most of orna no just like am plain and simple. SAME passion is the reason he’s one of the best attacker in world!! So Abeg shift”.
