Debo Oshundun, of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday emerged the Chairman, Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Lagos State chapter.
In an election which held at the Lagos SWAN Secretariat, National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, Oshundun, polled 79 votes, while his opponent, Bamidele Boluwaji of Complete Sports garnered 10 votes.
Other members of the executive who were returned unopposed are: Deola Omo-kivie; Emmanuel Tobi; Monica Iheakam and Ganiyu Yusuf and they are to occupy the post of the Vice-chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and Financial Secretary respectively.
The election was conducted under the supervision of the national President of SWAN, Honour Sirawoo, a member of national SWAN, Aloy Chukwuemeka, Chairman, Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Lagos State council, Mr Qwazim Akinreti and the Secretary of the union, Odifa Alfred Adebayo.
In his acceptance speech, the newly-elected Chairman, Debo Oshundun, promised to sustain the legacies left behind by his predecessor, Mr Fred Edoreh, and even uphold them in order to allow Lagos SWAN maintain its role model status among state chapters.
However, the election did not go without a mild drama prior to the election process when congress members demanded that the Personal Assistant to the SWAN national President, Lekan Ige, must leave the podium where he was seated alongside members of the national excos as he is not recognised by SWAN statute.
