Asantehene holds meeting with Kotoko’s management
Kumasi, Dec. 21, Ghanadot/GNA –
The Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Spiritual Leader of
Kumasi Asante Kotoko Football Club at the weekend held an
emergency meeting with the management of the Club behind
closed doors at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.
The GNA Sports gathered after the meeting that the
interaction was necessitated by some alleged differences
among some management members which was affecting smooth
running of the Club.
Mr Kwame Baah-Nuako, Communications Director of Kotoko in
his comments after the meeting said all rough edges have
been sharpened following their meeting with the Asantehene.
“We are now more united than ever before and hope to work in
collaboration with all other stakeholders to foster the
development and progress of the Club”, he said.
The Asantehene, he said, expressed concern about the
attitude of some former management members and Circle
leaders to inciting supporters to call for the dissolution
and change of management, adding that the Otumfuo made it
clear that the issue of whether to change a management with
another was his prerogative and that nobody could influence
him to do otherwise.
Mr Baah-Nuako said Otumfuo who is also the Life Patron of
the Club therefore cautioned such people to refrain from any
negative acts to ensure peace prevails in the Club.
Mr Jerry Asare, Management Member in-charge of Operations
said that Eric Bekoe’s transfer to a Club in Egypt was
necessitated by the player’s own will to leave and seek
greener pastures.
He therefore urged media personnel and supporters in
particular to desist from reading other meanings into the
transfer.
The Operations Director said management members were united
and that the club was looking ahead to win this year’s
Premier League and the CAF Champion’s League.
