Why I Accepted Grand Patronship Of Spartan Eagles- Jonathan Ojadah
The Patron of the United Nations Institute for Peace and Governance UNIPGC, Ambassador Jonathan Ojadah, has revealed reason why he accepted to be conferred with the honour of being then Grand Patron of The Spartan Eagles Of Nigeria, a Football Club.
Speaking at the reception where he was honoured few days ago in Lagos, Ojadah who is also the IRDCUN Permanent Representative to the United Nations Headquarters in New York, USA, said that, it is indeed a great honour to be chosen for such a highly responsible position, as that of a Football club association in Nigeria.
He pointed out that, though he is already a Patron of highly placed global institutions, he will gladly accept this honour, because, “it is a honour that comes from my home land Nigeria. I am humbled to be chosen for this honour, despite my youthful age, but I guess, sports comes with youthful age too.”
Ojadah went ahead to assert his commitment to the development of Football and sports in Nigeria.
“Being the Grand Patron of this body is a role that I am ready to play. And I want to assure you all that I will, to the best of my power, support the association and the players to excel and bring out the best in everyone.”
To practically show his support and commitment, Ojadah donated a lump sum of money to the Spartan Eagles of Nigeria, and there upon, called out his friends among the guests at the event to support his gesture. Within a few minutes, his financial support, was doubled to the joy and happiness of the excos and members of Spartan Football Club at the event.
In an event that was attended by family, friends and well-wishers, Ojadah was presented with a formal letter for his new role and position as Grand Patron of Spartan Eagles of Nigeria of Nigeria, a certificate of honour and his Football player t-shirt which represents the Number 1 personality of the Club, amidst a loud applause of joy.
The event witnessed speeches, commendations from the exco members of Spartan Eagles of Nigeria and some special guests of honour.
Ojadah, seized the opportunity to acknowledge and recognise some of his team members who have been with him within time. He awarded them certificates of loyalty and support and commended them for their steadfast work over the years.
