A group of sports journalists in the Ashanti Region are set to embark on a “Save Ghana Football” demo on February 23, 2024.
Convener of the protest, Atta Poku, speaking on Accra-based Citi TV informed that the group has petitioned Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and various stakeholders for their approval before the commencement of the demonstration against the Ghana Football Association.
“The plan is that it is going to happen on February 23, and we have actually delivered a petition to various stakeholders, so we intend to ramp up what we have done to expedite action on the engagement that is ongoing after the first demonstration. We are planning to actually converge on the seat of football, which is the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, at 9 am, just as it happened in Accra”, he stated.
He emphasized that after the demonstration, a final petition will be sent to the Ashanti regional minister.
“We will go through the Wesley Roundabout and the regional coordinating council will be the final destination, so a petition will be sent to the regional minister and Asantehene because of his involvement with Asante Kotoko”, Atta Poku added.
