This is in line with our vision to play a key role in sports politics, just as our athletes are dominant on the field. This is a great moment for our sports and it can only get better. We shall continue to support eligible candidates to vie for positions in sporting bodies to protect the interest and welfare of our athletes. I’m so excited that Nigerian sports profile is on the rise again in International sport politics, just like on the field”, he said.
