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,” the Rivers pillar of sports declared.

The State PDP Chairman expressed joy that Governor Wike’s overwhelming
popularity and goodwill has yielded fruits, adding that Sirawoo’s victory would serve as inspiration to the youths, especially journalists in the State.
