The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in collaboration with its vibrant youth wing under the leadership of Hon. Olagoke Akinwemimo, is proud to announce a groundbreaking Sports Fiesta, with a particular focus on a football competition that will feature all Local Government Areas (LGAs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in Osun State.
This initiative underscores the transformative power of sports, particularly football, as a unifying force among Nigeria’s diverse youth population. Football is more than just a game—it is a bridge that connects communities, fosters friendships, and drives societal change.
Speaking on the initiative, Hon. Olagoke Akinwemimo stated, “This Sports Fiesta is aimed at encouraging youth participation in activities that promote unity, discipline, and teamwork. By creating this platform, we are not only nurturing the talents of our youth but also fostering an environment of peace and camaraderie across Osun State.”
The leadership of the APC in Osun State, under the dynamic chairmanship of Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, has played a pivotal role in supporting this initiative. Their unwavering commitment to youth development and societal progress remains an inspiration. Special appreciation is also extended to the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy ‘Gboyega Oyetola, whose visionary leadership continues to guide and motivate initiatives that empower the people of Osun State.
The Sports Fiesta aims to discover and nurture young talents, promoting sportsmanship and creating opportunities for youth to explore careers in sports. Through this event, the APC seeks to reaffirm its commitment to youth empowerment and community development, reinforcing the idea that the future of Osun State lies in the hands of its young and dynamic population.
Details of the competition, including the schedule, venues, and participating teams, will be announced in the coming weeks. The Osun State APC and its youth wing invite all stakeholders, sports enthusiasts, and residents to join hands in making this event a resounding success.
Together, let us celebrate the strength of our diversity and the potential of our youth through the unifying spirit of football.
Signed,
