Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has congratulated Sebastian Coe on his re-election as President of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).

Coe, 62 was re-elected for a second term at the 52nd IAAF Congress in Doha.

Governor Okowa, in a congratulatory message by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Olisa Ifejika, said Coe was a sports administrator per excellence, adding that his overwhelming re-election stemmed from the confidence reposed in him by the IAAF Congress.

He urged him to use his office to fight doping in sports, so that athletes would truly earn their laurels. 

The Governor recalled that Coe was at the Africa Athletics Championship hosted by Delta at Asaba in August, 2018, and his presence was motivating.


Coe, a Briton, was a former Olympic and world champion middle distance runner, who became head of the world athletics’ governing body in 2015.
