The Media aide to the Honourable Minister of Youth and Sports Development; Kola Daniel has strongly believed that Bash Ali needs an ex-convict tag.

According to the Media aide, Ali has become a nuisance to the society and has a way of stigmatising various Ministers and nobody has started any legal proceeding against him and that is why he has been fooling people.

Shedding more light, the Media aide said: “I Hope this will teach him a very hard lesson. I think my principal has started a legal action against him, he should secure judgement and make sure he’s jailed to rescue future sports Ministers from Ali’s Blackmails. He has done this on countless occasions and I could remember when he was living in the street and fooling Nigerians alleging that nobody cares about him, he has fought for the country and alot more fabricated issues.”

From his point of view, It’s is now evident that Ali’s best practice is how he decieves people to get money from them all in the name of he wants to get to the Guiness book of record at his present age.

“At what age? Somebody who is close to 70 still believes he wants to fight while we have young boxers who are doing extremely well and whom the Government needs to place value, nuture and look after as they are still young to ensure that they become future boxers that will represent Nigeria and be worthy representatives bringing about Podium performances in Olympics and professional fight perhaps.” … Kola Daniel concluded.

With 29 days to the 2026 All Africa Challenge Trophy (AACT), Nigeria is stepping up preparations to host the continental women’s team golf championship, with the extensive rehabilitation of the IBB International Golf and Country Club in Abuja providing a major boost to the country’s readiness.

In a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja Director of Communication AACT 2026, Kayode Adeniyi said the Club’s Board of Trustees has assured that the facility will be fully prepared to welcome golfers, officials and delegates from across Africa when the championship tees off on November 2.
