As part of campaign strategies for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan, a national support group, Gio15, is organising a novelty football match in Asaba, Delta State.
According to a statement signed by the Chairman, National Organising Committee, Ejike Obioko, the novelty match which will hold January 14th at the Squash Club, Government House, Asaba, is one of the group’s way of appreciating President Jonathan’s strides in sports and women development.
The match will have in attendance Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan who is the Chief Guest, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman, National Women and Youth Leaders, legislators, PDP governors, APGA governors, serving ministers, Stephen Keshi, Henry Nwosu, Jay Jay Okocha, Ann Chiejine, top Nigerian artistes and Nollywood actor, Francis Duru, who will be the compere at the occasion.
“Women and youths of all walks of life will play the novelty match to entertain a crowd of registered voters for GEJ’s re-election.
“It is only a mischievous person that will conclude that president Jonathan has not advanced the cause of Nigerian women since he came on board. Even women at the grassroots are smiling,” the statement said.
