The Supporters wing for Ghana Premier League side, Asante Kotoko SC, has gifted maverick Ghanaian politician Kennedy Agyapong a customized jersey on his 60th birthday.

The Supporters group presented the jersey with his name customized at the back to the Member of Parliament for Assin Central at Net 2 TV where a program was held to celebrate him.

Kennedy Agyapong who is an advocate for the promotion of local football has charged Ghanaian journalists to promote the local league instead of foreign football.

“Instead of promoting Ghana soccer, you rather give much attention to Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, Manchester United, and others. If you have given the same time of promoting European leagues to Ghana teams they will build their confidence and morale to improve their standards," he told Oman FM.

“But now you will see some Ghanaians supporting Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, and others. Black people are very stupid. You don’t like your own,” he added.
