Oshoala, made this known in a statement today that youths are globally favoured in leadership positions because of their abiding strength, vigour, resourcefulness and dynamism.

Speaking at the declaration held at his Ikorodu campaign office, the chairmanship aspirant said, he has consulted leaders and other stakeholders widely on the need to be supported to emerge as the next Ikorodu Local Government chairman.

Oshoala promised to bring about a fresh wave of life-transforming programmes and developments hugely beneficial to all residents and indigenes of the local government.

The chairmanship aspirant holds two Master’s degrees from international institutions and a member of various professional bodies.

The 29-year-old joined Bar FC from Barcelona in February and is expected to face her former teammate at their new home ground, PayPal Park in San Jose.

Oshoala, who had a quiet Olympic campaign with the Nigeria Super Falcons, can be aptly termed a Barcelona legend, having scored 85 goals in 101 matches from 2019 to 2024.

The record six-time African Women’s Footballer of the Year winner won four Primera División, three UEFA Women’s Champions League, four Supercopa de España Femenina, three Copa de la Reina, and one Copa Catalunya title with the club, emerging as the Primera División Top scorer with 20 goals in the 2021/22 season.

The former Liverpool and Arsenal striker has become a mainstay at Bay FC, scoring their first goal in the 1–0 victory against Angel City on her NWSL
debut.

Alexia Putellas’ brilliant late free kick separated both teams in a keenly contested Group C tie at the Stade de la Beaujoire, Nantes.

Captain Rasheedat Ajibade and Chiwendu Ihezuo were guilty of missing good scoring opportunities for the Super Falcons in the game. Randy Waldrum’s also had similar problem in their opening fixture against Brazil which they also lost 1-0.

A disappointed Oshoala said it is important for the Super Falcons to start scoring goals.

Randy Waldrum’s side have been handed one of the toughest draws imaginable at Paris 2024, where they will take on Brazil, Japan and Spain in Group C and – on paper at least – appear to face an uphill battle to reach the knockout phase.

All of Nigeria’s opponents are in the top 10 of the FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking, with the African side currently placed 36th.

Oshoala, a modern-day women’s football icon, has starred for club and country on some of the game’s greatest stages.  The Nigerian striker has lit up FIFA Women’s World Cup matches, UEFA Champions League finals, and helped fire her teams to multiple trophy successes.

Despite her numerous achievements, the record six-time Women’s African Player of The Year is yet to showcase her talent at the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament but that’s all set to change in Paris 2024.

Oshoala will strive to lead from the front during Nigeria’s Olympic campaign – and she believes the team’s relentless energy makes them a force to reckon with.
