Ghanaian Politician Kofi Akpaloo pledges support to Ghanaian clubs

Percival Kofi Akpaloo, Founder and Leader of Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) has promised to support Ghanaian clubs in order to help raise the standard of the game.

The 2020 Presidential candidate comment comes after promising to dash each Hearts of Oak player GHC1,000 if they are able to beat Wydad Athletic Club of Morocco in the CAF Champions League.

The Phobians come up against one of the consistent sides in the CAF Champions League in recent times in this preliminary round at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.

The Ghanaian giants set up the tie after eliminating Guinean side CI Kamsar with a 2-0 win at the Accra Sports Stadium last month.

Hearts of Oak last played in the CAF Champions League group stage in 2006 and will hope to progress to the money zone.

Speaking to Koforidua-based Aben FM, he said, “I have promised to give each player GHC1,000 and the coach GHC2,000 should they beat WAC on Sunday, this is to motivate the team to raise the flag of Ghana high”

“I’m doing this not because I am a fan of Hearts of Oak but it is a step aimed at helping the club to flourish. I am ready to support any team that plays in Africa anytime, so being it Hearts of Oak, Kotoko, Berekum Chelsea, Bechem United and others, so far as they are clubs in the country, I will support them” he said.
