Former Vice President of Port Harcourt Polo Club, Ebi Diriyal has been elected to lead the new management committee of the foremost club as the new President.

“In accepting this charge of leading the club, I once again pledge to rededicate myself to the service of polo,” Diriyal declared moments after he was given the mandate as the new man on the job. “This is a special game that fosters unity, confidence, team spirit and discipline, “ he added in chat.
Polo is a great sport that can achieve anything it wants if we all set our minds to it. I therefore urge everyone to join hands with the new management committee and promote the noble game and reposition Nigerian polo globally.” He added in his acceptance remarks.
