And cheering Bayelsa State delegation at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium poolside launched a chorus of “N6M, N6M.” This is in anticipation that the Bayelsa State government would reward any gold medal winner with a cash gift of N1m. Bayelsa State Commissioner for Sports Daniel Igali was among the cheering fans.

“Gagbe is a fitness freak and has been doing well here.”
