The Group Managing Director of Sahara Group, Dr. Kola Adesina, on Wednesday congratulated Arsenal Football Club and its global fan base for clinching the Premier League title.
Arsenal ended their 22-year wait to be crowned champions on Tuesday after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth. The Gunners’ relentless pursuit of the trophy made this campaign historic and memorable for football fans worldwide.
City needed a win to keep the title race alive until the final day, but Bournemouth extended their unbeaten run to 17 league games — a streak that also secured European football for the first time in the club’s history.
Although Dr. Adesina is a staunch supporter of Manchester United, he set aside rivalries in the spirit of sportsmanship to celebrate Arsenal’s achievement.
In his statement, he said:
“Congratulations to all Arsenal F.C. fans across the world. Enjoy the moment, celebrate your team, and wear your smiles proudly today.
“I will always rejoice with those who rejoice. I’m glad to see Gunners rejoicing after 22 years of agonizing pain. You truly deserved this victory.
“As for me, my loyalty still firmly resides with Manchester United F.C. — through glory, storms, rebuilding, and resurrection alike. Once a Red, always a Red.” 🔴
