Presidential hopeful and national reform advocate, Abayomi Mighty, has extended heartfelt congratulations to Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, following their impressive triumph at the continental championship, describing their win as “a beacon of Nigerian resilience, brilliance, and black excellence.”
In a public statement released via his official communication team, Abayomi Mighty lauded the team’s consistency, strength, and unity, noting that “D’Tigress have once again proven that Nigerian women are not just competent — they are champions on the global stage.”
He further emphasized that their victory sends a strong message to the government on the urgent need to prioritize the funding and development of women’s sports across all levels.
“We must move beyond lip service,” Mighty stated. “If we can commit billions to projects of questionable relevance, we must match that with tangible investment in youth, sports, and the female athletes who continue to bring us international honour.”
Abayomi Mighty, who has consistently criticized misaligned national priorities, reiterated his commitment to restoring merit-based recognition and proper welfare for Nigeria’s athletes. He also pledged that under his leadership, sports development will not be politicized or sidelined.
“Our young women in sports are not an afterthought. They are national assets. D’Tigress have done their part — it is time for the government to rise and do theirs.”
This marks yet another moment where Abayomi Mighty aligns himself with the grassroots heartbeat of the nation, maintaining his populist stance ahead of the 2027 elections.
