Gbayan demands free and fair badminton federation elections

The Chairman of FCT Badminton Association, Gabriel Gbayan, has called for a level-playing field ahead of the elections into sports federations.

The member of the BFN board representing the North-Central is bidding to succeed Francis Orbih as president of the Badminton Federation of Nigeria (BFN) when the elections are held on September 30 in Abuja.

The sports administrator, who said he was not happy with the state of the BFN secretariat when he went to submit his form, maintained that he wants to take the sports to the next level.

Gbayan also revealed that his operational strategy will be engagement, integration and collaboration to achieve the dream of the founding fathers of the game of badminton.

“I want a transparent and rancour-free electoral process where every stakeholder will be given a level playing for us to achieve our objectives of improving this game in all its facets.”
