This was contained a in a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Lisa Olu Akerele. The statement said, “it will be recalled that Nigeria lost its pride of place in international sports for the eight years former President Olusegun Obasanjo held forth as the nation’s number one.”
The statement read in part , “In all of the eight years of Obasanjo , Nigeria won nothing. In all the sporting competitions Nigerians participated in, it was one woeful result after the other. Nigeria got nothing. We had it bad under Obasanjo. His aura was bad for the country. It goes to show you that he played very bad politics. Under the Obasanjo government, not only was our image was battered, our sports record took a drastic turn for the worst.
