Speaking at the finals of the Abacheke Tow Education Cup Competition, for villages in the locality, Opiah who also has APC ticket to return to the National Assembly, noted that he has done much for youths in the federal constituency and is willing to do more if given a fresh mandate.<\/p>\n
According to the lawmaker who has been sponsoring the competition known as Opiah cup, for several years, \u201c I feel sports is not only a recreational activity but also an avenue to engage youths in meaningful activities, other than vices that do not impact in their lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cRemember I personally undertook the renovation of this Abacheke field and fields of other areas like the neigbouring Mmahu. I did it to create an avenue for our youths to develop and display their talents to catch the fancy of scouts\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Opiah, \u201cgetting involved in sporting activities is better than criminal acts. I promise to continue the support to grassroots sports event\u201d<\/p>\n
