Criticisms have trailed former Senate President Bukola Saraki’s hope of Nigeria hosting NBA games.
Saraki had on Wednesday posted a picture of himself watching an NBA game involving the Lakers.
In the accomplishing tweet, the ex-Governor of Kwara State wished that Nigeria could host a global basketball tournament.
He tweeted, “In LA watching @KingJames play for @Lakers. Energy in the Arena is unmatched. In 2018 an exhibition NBA game was played in Pretoria, South Africa.
“I’m hoping in the near future, Nigeria will host NBA games in a bid to grow the sport further in Nigeria. I am determined to see us achieve this.”
While some of his followers hailed his determination, others queried what role he played to ensure the country hosted such high-profile games, when he was in power.
