Obaseki challenges Dalung to Okpekpe race contest

Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has charged the Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung, to “come race with me” at the seventh Okpekpe International 10km Road Race on May 25.

The governor stated this during the recent National Council of Sports meeting in Benin City.

At the meeting, which was attended by Dalung and the Directors of Sports from the 36 states and Abuja, Obaseki assured that this year’s race would serve as a benchmark for subsequent editions.

He said, “I am using this opportunity to invite the sports minister and the whole world to a world-class road race on May 25 in Okpekpe, Edo State.

“For whatever, you (Dalung) did or did not do, history will be fair to you for rescuing the National Sports Festival. You have spoken about retirement and the imminent dissolution of the National Executive Council, but before you go, permit me to invite you to come and race with me at the Okpekpe Road Race.”
