PRESS RELEASE

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)

13th African Games:Minister of Sports Development Charges Athletes to Conquer Africa _Says Nigeria is solidly behind them_ The Honourable Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh on Tuesday the 5th of March charged Nigeria’s contingent to the All Africa Games taking place in Ghana to conquer Africa. Addressing the athletes onboard the aircraft scheduled to take them to Ghana for the tournament shortly before takeoff at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja, the Minister assured them that the entire nation was solidly behind them. He further stated that although some of the athletes may be representing the country for the first time, the tournament affords them the opportunity to make the nation proud.

NPFL - STARTIMES DEAL: MALLAM SHUAIBU GARA GOMBE MISLEADING THE SPORTS INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA

NPFL - STARTIMES DEAL: MALLAM SHUAIBU GARA GOMBE MISLEADING THE SPORTS INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA My attention is seriously drawn to the fact that Mallam Gara Gombe clearly shows in his recent submission to the Guardian that he has ill interests and it isn't only about fighting for the interest of local football but also trying to show that he deserves to be the one leading Nigerian football through his open statements against the NPFL leadership he referred to as illegitimate in one of his recent releases. Remember, "what is good for the goose is also good for the garner." It is a fact he desires to get to the top of football leadership in Nigeria and he might feel at this point he alone has the monopoly of football administrative knowledge. Wouldn't you expect others to deliberately begin to employ similar tactics to topple your leadership too? Gara Gombe said; quote: "Because Nigeria is a dumping ground you illegally appoint people to manage a league they know nothi...
