He said he was certain that but for the unfortunate injury which prevented him from completing the final of the one hundred metres race, the least he would have gone with was a bronze medal.
The Deputy Governor also attributed Nigeria’s poor performance at the games to the lacklustre preparation by the relevant authorities.
He especially blamed the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare.
Adegoke was given ten thousand dollars by the state government to boost his morale, and assured of an SUV upon victory at the race.
