In the same vein, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Bro. Felix Obuah has saluted the victory of Honour Sirawoo as National President of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN).
Bro. Obuah in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam described the victory of Sirawoo as historic, becoming the first person from the South-South geo political zone to be elected SWAN National President.
The PDP Chairman who is also the president, and Sole sponsor of Go-Round Football Club, the 2016 Rivers FA Champions expressed confidence that Sirawoo would do Rivers State proud given his wealth of experience in the sports writing fraternity, having served as Chairman of SWAN in Rivers State as well as National Vice President, South-South Zone.
“I have no doubt whatsoever that this experienced and hard working sports writer would do us proud and justify his choice for the enviable position.  Sirawoo’s emergence is one of the best things to happen to Rivers State and I make bold to say he is a square peg in a square hole,” Bro Obuah said.
The PDP Chairman who is also the patron of SWAN said Sirawoo’s SWAN presidency would go a long way in complementing the efforts of Governor Nyesom Wike in promoting sports in the State, stressing that his victory is no doubt a remarkable dividend of Gov Wike’s effective governance and untiring efforts to see that all sectors of the State economy are given deserving attention.
Bro Obuah further expressed joy over Governor Wike’s overwhelming popularity and goodwill which has yielded fruits, adding that Sirawoo’s victory would serve as inspiration to the youths, especially journalists in the State.
He charged the SWAN President to use his wealth of experience to bear on his new responsibility, adding that to whom much is given, much is also expected.
The Rivers PDP Chairman promised maximum support to Mr. Sirawoo to ensure his success.
