The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Ogun State and Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, has congratulated Comrade Michael-Azeez Ogunsiji on his re-election as Chairman of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Ogun State Chapter.
In a congratulatory message, Senator Adeola described Ogunsiji's re-election as a clear affirmation of the confidence and trust reposed in his leadership by members of the association.
He noted that the overwhelming support received by the SWAN chairman reflects the remarkable achievements recorded during his first term, particularly in promoting professionalism in sports journalism, strengthening collaboration between the media and sports stakeholders, and advancing the growth of sports in Ogun State.
The senator urged the re-elected chairman and the newly inaugurated executive committee to build on their accomplishments by sustaining initiatives that will further promote sports development, youth empowerment, economic growth, and social cohesion across the state.
He also commended members of the association for conducting a peaceful, transparent, and credible election, describing the exercise as a demonstration of the association's commitment to democratic principles and internal cohesion.
Senator Adeola reaffirmed his support for programmes and initiatives aimed at developing sports and nurturing young talents, stressing that sports remain a vital tool for youth engagement, job creation, and national development.
He further assured that, by the grace of God, his administration, if elected to govern Ogun State in 2027, would work closely with the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Ogun State Chapter, and other stakeholders to reposition the state's sports sector through the provision of modern sporting infrastructure, talent development, and policies that will unlock the economic potential of sports while creating greater opportunities for young athletes.
The Ogun West lawmaker wished Comrade Michael-Azeez Ogunsiji and the newly elected executive committee a successful, productive, and impactful second term in office.
