Governorship candidate of the Accord Party, Dr Godwin Maduka, has promised to promote sports and sporting activities in the state if elected.
Maduka said that a well developed sports sector would help to take the youths especially the unemployed ones out of the streets and get them meaningfully engaged.
“I am one of those doctors that believe in physical fitness. Everybody knows that I joined fitness group in Enugu. I am sure you have seen me run with them. They keep thinking, ‘why is he still going about?’ The thing about physical fitness is that when you continue doing that, your body will regroup.
“You can do 1,000 push ups when you can’t even do 10 push ups in one day. But when you keep pushing your body, eating right and doing the right thing, your body will be fit. You will be in mental alertness. So, physical fitness is a very important thing.
