Buhari, Tinubu Storm Jos To Launch Apc Football Club by Monimatic(m): 4:27pm On Mar 12, 2013
FORMER Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, and the former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu are among the dignitaries expected in Jos on March 31 for the launch of the All Progressives Congress Peace Football Club, which is the sports arm of the new political party.

According to officials of the newly formed club, which will be based in Jos, arrangements are in top gear to get all the chieftains of the party at the launch aimed at putting the club on a sound footing.

One of the officials of the club, Pastor Gyang Chollom, in a release made available to journalists, said, “all elected and appointed political office holders on the platform of the ANPP, ACN, CPC, DPP and a faction of APGA are expected to storm Jos, Plateau State, March 31, 2013, for the official launching of the APC Peace Football Club, under the chairmanship of General Muhammadu Buhari, with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as guest speaker and recipient of the Most Outstanding Progressive Politician Award (MOPPA) instituted by coalition of Progressive Political Interest Groups (COPPIG).”

He revealed that the governors of Lagos, Edo, Imo, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Zamfara, Yobe, Borno and Nassarawa states, under the aegis of the Eleven Progressive Governors Unity Forum (EPGUF), sponsored the incorporation of the club.

While praising members of the National Assembly elected on the platform of the ACN, CPC, ANPP, DPP and a faction of the APGA, for purchasing two buses, a Toyota Hilux and 100 tricycles to the team, Chollom revealed that Coach Ismaila Mabo, a former chief coach of the Super Falcons, has been appointed as the club’s technical consultant with effect from March 31, 2013, while Comrade Saddiq Agamah Sumbelep, a Jos-based veteran journalist, has been appointed as the acting team manager of the club.

A group of veteran journalists and another of veteran footballers, who support the merger of the ANPP, CPC, ACN and APGA to become All Progressives Congress (APC), founded the APC Peace Football Club, which, according to Chollom, is aimed at using footballers and football fans to boost the campaign for peaceful co-existence, campaign against killing, terrorism, insecurity, crime, armed robbery, kidnapping, cultism, drug abuse, alcoholism, smoking and all social vices.

He said that Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has been appointed as the life grand patron of the club in recognition of his campaign for peaceful co-existence and his humanitarian services.

Chollom said full details of the APC Peace Football Club would be disclosed in Lafia, Nasarawa State, on March 25 during a press conference being organized by founders of the club and sponsored by Governor Umaru Tanko Almakura of Nasarawa State.
