Integrity Group Commend SWAN President, FCT SWANECO, Urge Stakeholders To Remain Steadfast

In the light of the giant strides made by Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), the truth seeking alliance of sports journalists in the FCT, popular known as Integrity Group has hailed the leadership of SWAN under the guidance of President Isaiah Benjamin, for brokering peace and restoring sanity within the association in the FCT.

We note that SWAN has made positive strides since President Isaiah Benjamin took reigns of office, especially for restoring peace back to its FCT Chapter with the formation of the generally accepted *SWANECO*.

Since it's formation in late February/ early March, *SWANECO* has been accepted as true engineers of a peaceful process with distinguished individuals selected as members of the panel.

We also note that *SWANECO* is on the verge of making history by overseeing what could be the best election conducted within the FCT chapter in recent years.

We affirm that *SWANECO* as the electoral body for the FCT SWAN Election have been upright, transparent, humble, hardworking, and committed to it's mandate of delivering a free and fair election.

We urge all FCT SWAN members and the Aspirants to remain peaceful and focus on our ambition to see a working and distinguished FCT SWAN Exco that reflects the wish of the people.

We should have it at the back of our minds that in a democratic process, while the majority will have their way, the minority will have a say. This is the beauty of democracy.

The Integrity Group, as an alliance of people committed to positive changes and ending the albatross of impunity found within our association, which necessitated the coming together of like minded individuals will keep watching and asking questions when the need arises.

We will publicize more of our activities for the election in the coming days.

Signed: Godwin Dele Amans

(Secretary, Integrity Group)

States Football Associations Should Adopt the Ekiti FA Model - Dr. Babatunde 'Tee' Akinbinu

Akinkunle Bolarinwa Executive Board Member of the Ondo State Football Association, Dr. Babatunde 'Tee' Akinbinu has advised State Football Associations Chairmen in Nigeria to borrow the template for football development exemplified by Ekiti State Football Association in the last three and half years. "The reason why Ekiti State FA works and looks so beautiful is because Mr Bayo Lanlege the Ekiti FA chairman threw his hat in the ring and is leading from the front on matters of football development in Ekiti State without any subvention funding from the Government of Ekiti State." The sagacious Sports Physician asserts that Nigeria needs pragmatic leadership to lead the new path for football development. "It is a huge irony that I am in Ondo and he is in Ekiti, really.
