Former Accra Hearts management member, Abdul Aziz Haruna Futah has been hard on opposition National Democratic Congress to “shut up” when it comes to sports infrastructures in Ghana.
The national Nasara coordinator of governing New patriotic party said, “NDC is a disease to Ghana because you see President Kufuor renovated Accra sports stadium, renovated Kumasi sports stadium, constructed Essipong sports stadium, constructed Alhaji Aliu Mahama sports stadium. When President Kuffuor was leaving office, he left these four strong stadia to NDC but Nii Lamptey Vanderpuye, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, Ayarigah, and one Dr… failed to renovate and maintain all the four stadia President Kufuor left.
When H.E Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Addo was sworn into office and appointed Hon. Isaac Asiamah as sports minister, Accra sports stadium has been renovated, Kumasi Baba Yara sports stadium has been renovated, Essipong sports stadium has been renovated, at Tamale, Alhaji Aliu Mahama sports stadium has been renovated and apart from that look at ongoing Nyinahin sports stadium and look at all the stadia ongoing in all the 16 regions. NDC cannot even boast of a training pitch but you have the guts to talk about sports infrastructures???” He told Goaso based Success FM.
The Accra Hearts of Oak chapter ‘O’ founder reiterated his statement that “When New patriotic party came to government, there was only one or two astroturf pitch thus Tema sports stadium but now I can boast of only Zongo development fund, not the sports ministry, we have 25 standards, they are talking about FIFA standard, do they know FIFA standard, they should go to Argentina, Brazil and go and see. In every community, they have a certain small stadium. Go to Nima in Ayawaso east constituency, there is a certain park called Kawukudi park, the Great Mohammed Polo, that is where he started, Mohammed Kudus of Ajax Amsterdam, that is where he was discovered. That Kawukudi park was a “rock” park. During President Kufuor’s regime, Hon. Kwadwo Baah Wiredu as Education and sports minister and Rashid Bawa upgraded that park. Eight(8) years under the National Democratic Congress, destroyed the Kawukudi park due to lack of maintenance culture. As am talking to you, due to one million, one constituency, we have constructed 10,000 stadium capacity with floodlights, scoreboard, and everything. That is President Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Addo. As for NDC, they are a disease and disgrace. They should shut up”
He added “insult to injury” by concluding that, former President John Dramani Mahama and his NDC collapsed Ghana sports because it was under their leadership that Ghana was subjected to mockery by flying money all the way to Brazil for Black star players therefore NDC should “shut up” when it comes to sports Infrastructures because they don’t have any track record.
