A former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has warned against importing the recently launched s3x competition in Sweden to Africa.
Over the weekend, Sweden became the first country in the world to officially register s3x as a sport.
The country will also host the first-ever European S3x Championship in Gothenburg on Thursday June 8, 2023.
The competition’s winners would be decided by a panel of judges with audience input also factored in.
Sani, reacting to the news on Twitter, noted Africa already has enough sports recognised by the International Olympic Committee adding the newly proposed sport from Sweden shouldn’t be welcomed.
“Don’t bring the newly invented Swedish Sport to Africa. We are okay with the ones approved by the International Olympics Committee,”he wrote.
