BREAKING: World Athletics Ratifies Tobi Amusan’s 100m Hurdles Record

World Athletics has ratified Tobi Amusan’s 100m Hurdles Record.

Newsone reports that the women’s world 100m hurdles record set by Tobi Amusan at the 2022 World Championships, has been ratified by the World Athletics, the international governing body for the sport of athletics.

This online news platform understands that the international governing body for the sport of athletics also ratified the record times of two other athletes — Mondo Duplantis and Sydney McLaughlin in a statement on Tuesday, September 20, 2022.

Newsone Naija reports that all records were set at the World Athletics Championships that took place in Oregon, the United States of America (USA) in July 2022.

“The world records set by Tobi Amusan, Mondo Duplantis, and Sydney McLaughlin at the World Athletics Championships Oregon22 have been ratified,” the statement reads.

“Amusan’s 12.12 in the women’s 100m hurdles semi-finals, Duplantis’s 6.21m in the men’s pole vault final, and McLaughlin’s 50.68 in the women’s 400m hurdles final are all now officially in the record books, as is the world U20 mark of 9.94 set by Letsile Tebogo in the men’s 100m heats.”

Amusan, a 25-year-old Nigerian took the athletics world by surprise with a record time of 12.12 seconds in the semi-finals heat at the event, breaking the six-year-old record held by USA’s Kendra Harrison.

Amusan went on to run a record 12.06 seconds in the final but was not acknowledged due to in-race wind gust that was higher than allowed. She became the first Nigerian world champion at the World Athletics Championships with a gold medal in the 100m hurdles.

Tobi Amusan is also the current African, commonwealth, and world champion in the 100m hurdles, and holds the race record in the three competitions. She was recently conferred with the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) by President Muhammadu Buhari.

BREAKING: Wike’s Group Gives Only Condition To Support Atiku’s 2023 Presidency

BREAKING: Wike's Group Gives Only Condition To Support Atiku’s 2023 Presidency

Wike’s group has given only condition to support Atiku’s 2023 Presidency.

Newsone reports that the team of the Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike, in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP ), Nigeria’s main opposition party, has pulled out of the campaign Council of the party’s presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.

Rising from their stormy meeting at the country home of Wike in Obio-Akpor on Wednesday morning, members of the team vowed not to partake in Atiku’s campaign activities pending the resignation of the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu.

Only condition to support Atiku by Wike’s group

The members of the party sympathetic to Governor Wike insisted that there would be no deal with Atiku until Ayu vacated his office to allow an acting Chairman from the South lead the campaign of Atiku.

Newsone Naija reports that the aggrieved party stalwarts comprising founding members of the party, Governors, former Ministers and other leaders of the party made their position known in a resolution read by a former Deputy National Chairman of the party, Chief Olabode George.

The aggrieved party stalwarts maintained that their position was not negotiable as the chairmanship of Ayu undermined the unity and constitution of the party.

Reading the resolution, George said: “Senator Iyorchia Ayu must resign as the National Chairman of the party for an acting Chairman of the Southern Nigerian extraction to emerge and lead the party on the national campaign.

“Consequently, we resolve not to participate in the campaign council in whatever capacity until the resignation of Dr. Iyorchia Ayu”.

Jang said: “For a National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu to go and embrace Sokoto Governor, Aminu Tanbuwal, calling him the hero of the convention meant that there was a private arrangement that was done with Tambuwal to shortchange other contestants including Governor Wike.

“Here was a referee, who helped one of his sides to score a goal and then blew the whistle. This is not what we formed the PDP to do for Nigerians. Therefore, we unequivocally ask that Ayu must step down”.

They said their support for Wike was neither because he lost the presidential primary nor because he was not chosen as the Vice-presidential running mate but because of equity and justice in the party.

Prof. Jerry Gana, a former Minister of Information, said if the party intended to restructure Nigeria it should have the courage to restructure itself.

“You cannot build on a faulty foundation. This call for the chairman to step down or resign is not because any of us is aggrieved but because we believe it is important to ensure a a just, fair, principled and constitutional structure for the party. If we want to restructure Nigeria, we should have the courage to restructure our party”.

On his part, Seyi Makinde,  the governor of Oyo State, said: “We hope that the powers that be listen to the voice of reason and do the needful”.
