Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has said the victory of Ugo Ugochukwu at the 2024 International Automobile Federation World Cup, was a testament to his immense talent.
Ugo Ugochukwu won the 2024 Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) at the 71st Macau Grand Pix.
Peter Obi said Ugochukwu’s victory was a historic achievement. He stated that like Ugo, Nigerian youths when given the right support and guidance, would excel in their chosen areas.
In his congratulatory message on Monday, the former Anambra State governor said: “It gives me immense pleasure to extend my warmest congratulations to the teenage sensation Ugo Ugochukwu Orlandi for his extraordinary win at the 71st Macau Grand Prix. This historic achievement, as the first American driver in over four decades to capture this coveted title, is a moment of pride and celebration.
“Ugo’s outstanding victory stands as a testament to his immense talent, hard work, and consistent dedication—qualities that our youth today can demonstrate when given the right support and guidance.
“With a Nigerian mother, the esteemed supermodel Oluchi Onweagba Orlandi, and an Italian father, the former fashion designer Luca Orlandi, Ugo embodies a rich and diverse heritage. His success serves as an inspiration to young Nigerians everywhere, illustrating the boundless potential that can be realized when passion is paired with opportunity.
“I must also commend McLaren for their foresight in recognizing Ugo’s potential and for their ongoing commitment to developing young talent. Their support underscores the critical role of nurturing ambition and investing in the future.
“Ugo, beyond making history—you have inspired millions. I look forward to witnessing your continued rise as you push the boundaries of what’s possible in motorsport. Congratulations once more, Ugo!”
