FEDERATION ELECTIONS ; GFN Presidential Candidate Omowunmi Olarere commends NSC for upholding Transparency and Fair play in Gymnastics Election saga
As uncertainties continue to surround the Elections into the board of the Gymnastics Federation of Nigeria, the National Sports commission, NSC, has been strongly commended for upholding the principle of transparency, due process and fair hearing among all stakeholders.
This is according to Omowunmi Kafilat Olalere, a key Gymnastics stakeholder and a Presidential candidate for the Gymnastics Federation board Elections.
” We all can see that it is no more business as usual as regards how Federation Elections are conducted where nobody can unilaterally disenfranchise anybody for their own selfish interest any longer”.
” This is why we all must praise the Leadership of the NSC led by the Chairman Mallam Shehu Dikko and the Director General Bukola Olopade who have come in and set a new standard where things must be done properly across the board, especially with the Federation elections”.
” It is very clear for everyone to see that Nigerian sports is in the right direction with these two technocrats and how they have insisted on only the right things, which is conducting free and fair elections acceptable to all and devoid of litigations”.
” If we must move Sports forward where we will have the most competent individuals managing our federations, then no stakeholder should be disenfranchised”, she added.
Several stakeholders in the Gymnastics family have written petitions to the sports commission to restore sanity and due process to the Gymnastics board elections where many accused the former board of going to conduct an election that lacked transparency, inclusivity and the backing of the country’s apex Sports regulators, the National Sports Commission, NSC.
The likes of the National Association for Physical, Health Education, Recreation, Sports and Dance ( NAPGER-SD), the Paramilitary sports organisations and other key stakeholders have vehemently rejected the widely condemned board elections of the Gymnastics federation conducted by Prince Kelvin Erhunmunse on the 6th of September 2025, and the NSC has assured all stakeholders that only a proper process will be legitimised.
