First,I had a fitful of laughter watching the Video as it took about Five Security men to wrestle renowned Boxing Champion, Bashiru Lawrence Ali, popularly known as Bash Ali.
First of all..*introduction!*..*just kidding*.. why were security men sweating their arms trying to swivel away a man who has boxed Wladimir Klitschko..are they learners?
Well,on Thursday in Abuja during the ‘Rhythm ‘N’ Play' inauguration by the President Bash Ali tried to accost President Goodluck Jonathan and the Minister of Sports, Bolaji Abdullahi, in a bid to challenge for the world cruiser-weight title in Nigeria.
Ali scuffled with the president’s aides, which duly got the attention of Jonathan. After having been allowed to approach the president, and after stating his mission, Jonathan directed that the boxer see the Minister of Sports for further discussion on the matter.
Get Videolinks after the cut..
DOWNLOAD BASH ALI AND SECURITY SCUFFLE.
Ali, 57, is seeking to become the oldest man to hold a world boxing title defence. He had earlier taken his campaign to have his defence staged in Nigeria to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) headquarters in Abuja on May 20, but said he was not allowed in.
Ali however alleged that when he tried to see Abdullahi at a private luncheon held with celebrities and a few others, he was manhandled by the minister’s aides and denied audience with the minister.
“There is no respect in this country for the people who should be respected,” Ali fumed. “How can I, when all I am trying to do is lift up my country’s name, be assaulted by a bunch of scoundrels all in the name of protecting their master? I was already a world champion when they were in primary school.”
For God's sake they should host this guy's fight,he could beat the then 45-year old George foreman's Guinness World record of being the oldest man to hold world title.
