Why Amosun Is In A Happy Mood

Former Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, is understandably in high spirits — and he shares that joy with millions of Arsenal fans worldwide.

The source of the excitement is Arsenal’s remarkable 2025/26 campaign. The Gunners currently sit top of the Premier League with three matches left, closing in on what would be their first English league title since the famous 2003/04 “Invincibles” season under Arsène Wenger.

They have also reached their first UEFA Champions League final in 20 years after defeating Atletico Madrid 2-1 on aggregate, setting up a historic shot at Europe’s biggest club prize later this month.

For loyal supporters like Amosun, this moment carries deep emotional weight. Arsenal’s last Premier League triumph came over two decades ago, while their only previous Champions League final appearance ended in heartbreak against Barcelona in 2006.

Since then, fans have endured years of mockery from rivals such as Manchester United, Chelsea, and especially Manchester City, whose recent dominance has intensified the banter.

Now, with Mikel Arteta’s side standing on the brink of a potential league and European double, the mood has shifted dramatically.

Observers say for Amosun and fellow die-hard Gunners, the years of taunts may finally be giving way to celebration — and perhaps the perfect time to remind rivals that Arsenal could once again be football’s kings.
