Some fans in Asaba, Delta on Thursday expressed disappointment over Blessing Okagbare’s withdrawal from the 100m and 200m events at the ongoing 21st Africa Athletics Senior Championships. Onome Moses, a civil servant, said she was unhappy when she got the news about Okagbare decision to pull out of the two events. Azino Ogaga, a teacher from Warri, said he was not surprised about Okagbare’s decision to pull out from the event. “I believe this may have influenced her decision to pull out, in order not to disappoint her home fans,’’ Ogaga said. Faith Chima, a civil servant, told NAN that Okagbare should not be criticised for pulling out of the events.
