Following the commissioning and donation of a modern Pavilion
Complex built by Prince Tonye Princewill to his father recently, King
Prof TJT Princwill CFR, Amachree XI and Amanyanabo of Kalabari
has described it as an act of immortalization bestowed on him by his
son.
Commissioning the modern Pavilion Complex during the opening
ceremony of the 2013 Annual Port Harcourt International Polo
Tournament, the King pronounced the event as a legacy he would
never forget.
According to the King, “today, my son, Prince Tonye Princewill has
immortalized me by this act. So far as this complex exists, my name
will be attached to it”.
King Princewill mesmerized the audience with his wisdom and
mastery of the game of polo when he recalled with pride his polo
playing days as a member of the Vom Polo Club in Jos in the 70s.
He stated further, “How my son came about this initiative still stands
as a mystery to me as I have never briefed him about this aspect of
my life as he was so small when I played the game in the 70s. I feel
fulfilled today at this event apart from reminding me of my days
playing polo has made me a proud father.”
An online statement issued by Chief Chukwuemeka Eze, stated that
after the King commissioned the Pavilion Complex, he declared open
the 2013 Annual Port Harcourt International Polo Tournament
involving clubs from Saudi Arabia, Dubai, South Africa, of course
Nigeria and others.
In his remarks, Prince Tonye Princewill, who spoke through his legal
adviser, Soalabo West Esq thanked the management of the Port
Harcourt Polo Club for giving him the opportunity to donate this
edifice.
He challenged other great individuals from the State to assist in
promoting sports as the State Government cannot do it alone. The
pavilion complex is made up of a covered stand for important
dignitaries to watch the Polo Game in Port Harcourt, modern media
gadgets, an auditorium, offices, conveniences and a host of other
world class facilities.
The President of the Club, Engr. Ibifiri Shehu Bob-Manuel who
expressed sincere appreciation at the magnanimity of the Prince in
donating the complex expressed his gratitude to him for the zeal and
commitment in delivering the edifice in such a short period after
making the pledge only last year.
He added that the game of polo in the State has never had it so
good since its inception in 1974 and that the club can now
comfortably host international tournaments. He went on further to
say that there were over 100 players participating in this
championship with countries like South Africa, Saudi Arabia and
Dubai. He then added that by this we are also promoting tourism and
attracting foreign investments to the State”.
Some of the elite cups being competed for in the week-long
tournament are the General T.Y. Danjuma Cup, the President's Cup,
Governor’s cup, Roland Cookey-Gam Cup and the Talevera Cup.
