Paris Olympics

Sports Minister, Senator John Owan Enoh, has vowed never to fall to blackmail by those trying to use unnecessary antics to distract

him from achieving his goals, particularly, in the build up to the Paris 2024 Olympics. him from achieving his goals, particularly, in the build up to the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Giving a clearer picture of what transpired between the Sports minister and the lawmaker, the Director and Head, Press and Public Relations Unit in the Ministry of Sports development, Kehinde Ajayi, said in statement made available to The Guardian that it was wrong for Adams to mischievously accuse Enoh of insincerity in the handling of N12billion intervention fund released by President Bola Tinubu earlier this year.

“After going through this self-serving news report, which is at best hollow, unfounded, and bereft of fact, it would appear that Hon. Adams takes for granted, the burden of the high office he presently occupies on behalf of his constituents and the responsibility that comes with it. Ajayi further carpeted the lawmaker, saying: “The instance wherein Hon. Adams said: Why should the Minister still allocate budget for the renovation and maintenance of the Ahmadu Bello stadium in the 2024 budget after the stadium had been handed over to the Kaduna State Government”, is a clear demonstration of his ignorance of the state of affairs within the sports sector and how out of touch he is.
