Team Nigeria athletes are still focused on their quest to win medals for Nigeria despite the distractions coming from every corner.
It has been revealed how the former president of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has been plotting to “mess up” the country by using his political affinity with the World athletics body to harass and distract team Nigeria athletes on and off the track.
One of the athletes in Tokyo admitted that some team Nigeria’s athletes have been in contact with the estranged Ex AFN president.
According to the athlete, some people are still loyal to the former AFN boss and he has been telling them how he chose to embarrass the nation with his position.
“Oga, I can’t tell you anything more than what you know, Dare Sunday is their target and some people are working against him” the unanimous athlete stated.”
The organization in charge of Team Nigeria athletes at the ongoing Tokyo Olympic games, the Nigeria Olympics Committee (NOC) are not relenting in ensuring that the situation is salvage. The NOC is monitoring the situation and will soon come with appropriate steps to curb the infiltration of enemies of the nation that are parading themselves as friends of the athletes.
“Oga didn’t you see how OOCT people served Blessing Okagbare suspension, they waited till the right moment to strike.”
Divine Oduduru was also another victim of this political game as he was cheaply disqualified from the track.
