I Am Done With Delta State Sports Commission After 8 Years In Office – Okowa

Delta State Sports Commission Chairman, Chief Tonobok Okowa has denied rumours making the rounds that he is anxiously lobbying to retain his job at the Sports Commission. Okowa while reacting to the rumour said it is the handwork of mischief makers and advised the general public to ignore the entire story. He further said he has removed his essential belongings from the office.

The President of the AthIetics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) said after serving in the same capacity for eight years with unprecedented landmark achievement, it has become necessary to aspire for higher calling.

The Vice-president of Confederation Africa AthIetics (CAA) said, it’s untrue and blatant lies about insinuations by idle hands saying he is lobbying to retain his position in the Commission.
“For Eight years under my leadership as Chairman of the Commission, Delta State had won the National Sports Festival,All National Youth Games.

These also includes many national championships in other sports too numerous to mention.
The new Chairman of the Commission have to continue to maintain the foundation already laid by previous administration.”

The President of Africa Region ll, AthIetics said, his appointment in the sports sector in Delta State has afforded him the opportunity to acquire deep knowledge both in Delta, Nigeria, Africa and World Sports in general and experience can’t be bought from the market.

He insisted that his services for Delta was an honour and previllage as he expressed gratitude to Deltans for all the accomplishments.
