yesterday. But the women’s 4x100m made up of Blessing Okagbare, Grace Nwokocha, Blessing Ogundare and Rosemary Chukwuma gave the spectators something to celebrate, as they ran 42.97 seconds to improve on their previous time. The women team has, however, provisionally qualified for the 4x100m event.
Some of the athletes blamed their failure on the poor condition of the tracks following a heavy down pour in Lagos yesterday.However, the teams could still qualify for the Olympics at the Lagos Open Athletics Championships fixed for June 24. The leadership crisis rocking the AFN was further heightened last week when a factional body emerged in Kebbi a few minutes after Tony Okowa was voted as president at an AFN elective Congress attended by chairmen and secretaries of various states’ athletics association in Abuja.The emergence of the faction in Kebbi notwithstanding, Okowa and his board members, with support from the sports ministry, staged the National Trials in Lagos, where Nigerian athletes for the Tokyo Olympics were selected.
Speaking with The Guardian at Yabatech, Gumel said the presence of the two CAA officials was a clear indication that the Tony Okowa-led AFN board is the only one recognised by both the African and world bodies.“The NOC made it clear since last week that there is only one AFN board in Nigeria and that is the one that was duly elected at the Congress in Abuja. Anybody who made himself a factional leader is wasting his time. These two gentlemen seating with us here are members of the CAA.
