Olympics: CPC wants Abdulahi, Ekeji sacked

By Inalegwu Shaibu, Abuja
Congress for Progressive Change, CPC  has called for the sack of sports minister, Bolaji Abdulahi and National Sports Commission director-general Patrick Ekeji over the dismal performance of the Nigerian contingent at the just concluded London 2012 Olympics.

National Publicity Secretary of the party, Engr. Rotimi Fasakin in statement condemned the woeful performance of Nigeria at the Olympics in which no single medal was won at the London Games.

The statement reads, “CPC joins concerned Nigerians at the import of the dismal performance of the Nigerian team at the recently concluded 2012 London Olympics where the country failed to register on the medals’ table, the worst in twenty four years.

“Undoubtedly, this poor showing is an anti-climax to the peak reached in our Olympics participation with the Atlanta ’96 haul of six medals, including two gold medals!
