Second on the medals log is Team, Ogun which has 7 Gold, 5 Silver, and 6 Bronze. While Oyo state has 6 Gold, 8 silver, and 6 Bronze a total of 20 medals to sit in the 3rd position.
State that was expected to give Team Delta a good challenge are Team Edo, Bayelsa, and Lagos but they are currently laying in 5th to 7th position respectively with the latter of 4 Gold each and 3 Gold.
As the Nigeria Olympics games enter Day 7, the medal table is expected to change as overtaking is allowed.
Over 13 states are yet to win a single medal as of the time of this report, these include Team Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno,
Enugu, Kebbi, Zamfara, Kaduna, Yobe, Gombe, Kogi, Cross-River, Ebonyi, and Niger State.
However, the Delta state commission for information Charles Aniagwu to urge other states to give Team Delta a good fight but under the watch of the Chairman of Delta state sports Commission who doubles as President of the Athletic Federation of Nigeria, AFN, Chief Tonobok Okowa, it seems impossible for any state to dethrone the 6 times consecutive champion.
