The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections in Nigeria, Peter Obi, has described as a shame the performance of Team Nigeria at the just ended 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.
The Eagle Online recalls that it was revealed during games that President Bola Tinubu approved N12 billion for participation.
Reacting to the no medal showing of Nigeria at the games, the former two-term governor of Anambra State described it as a shame.
He said in a tweet on his X handle on Sunday: “Now that the Paris Olympics 2024 has officially ended and our dear Team Nigeria, despite the huge financial investment made into the project, is returning without a single medal, let me unreservedly register my displeasure with the performance of our team and their handlers.
