This had sparked mixed reactions from netizens some of whom had gone to the comment section to denigrate him for taking award from an administration they had critiqued. Reacting to this, AY noted that receiving an award is the highest honor a person can get, and this has nothing to do with the person who confers it as the vital point is that he has contributed his own quota to nation building.

It is about whether someone was voted in. Erdogan might be a dictator to the rest of the world but he was chosen by his people.
Tinubu on the other hand is an impostor who stole people’s mandate through rigging and violence,” she added.

Chelsea on Monday, May 29, announced that Mauricio Pochettino has been appointed as the club’s new manager. Pochettino had emerged as the favourite after Chelsea held talks with former Spain manager Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann, who was sacked by Bayern Munich in March.

Pochettino will take up the role on July 1, after agreeing to a two-year contract, with the club having the option of keeping him on for another year. Chelsea’s sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley said in a statement; “Mauricio’s experience, standards of excellence, leadership qualities and character will serve Chelsea well as we move forward. He is a winning coach, who has worked at the highest levels, in multiple leagues and languages. His ethos, tactical approach and commitment to development all made him the exceptional candidate.” Mauricio Pochettino named next Chelsea head coachChelsea players at a match in Stamford Bridge. Source: Getty Chelsea described Mauricio Pochettino as a coach who is “renowned for his sides’ high-energy and eye-catching style.” This is Pochettino’s first coaching role since leaving Paris Saint-Germain in July last year and this marks his return to the Premier League where he had an impressive 5 1/2-year spell with Tottenham that included a run to the Champions League final. The Argentine is the permanent successor to Graham Potter, who was fired in March after nearly seven months in charge. Former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has led the team on an interim basis since then and they finished the Premier League in 12th place, the bottom of the Premier League for the first time since the 1995-96 season.

Believed to be keen to sign a new goalkeeper, central midfielder, and striker, Pochettino has a big job on his hands. This is despite a haphazard £550 million ($679 million) spending spree on new signings which the club’s co-owner, Todd Boehly embarked on earlier this year.
