Street Soccer Stars endorse Fashola
Members of the Lagos
State grassroots football community have announced their support for
Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola in his bid for re-election.
The community, led
by players who have participated in Street Soccer Competition organised
by the Lagos State Government, held a meeting with the state’s
Commissioner for Youth, Sports and Social Development, Ademola
Adeniji-Adele yesterday at the Teslim Balogun State, declaring their
support for the governor.
The players said Mr
Fashola has initiated and promoted sports programmes at the grassroots,
which has not only helped to keep youths off the streets and crime but
has equally empowered them. One of the footballers, Prince Edoh, of
Planners Football Club of Amuwo Odofin, moved a motion to adopt and
endorse Fashola for a second term.
The players also decided to launch a project in that regard, ‘Score
with BRF’. They added that they have already launched a Facebook page in
that regard to drum up support for the governor.
