Stop Changing Kotoko Management At Will - Kotoko Tells Media

Management of kotoko has appealed to the media to pay heed to the admonition given by the Manyhia Palace to stop announcing changes in the leadership of Kotoko at will.


Rumours of a so-called likely change the current Kotoko administration gained so much currency late last year with sections of the media emphatically reporting that the present Kotoko management headed by club legend, Samuel Opoku Nti were on their way out.


But the Owner and Life Patron of Kotoko, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in a press statement issued by his Chef of Staff, Kofi Badu debunked those stories pointing out that, the Manhyia Palace at the right time would come out on the way forward of the club.


Yet in the last few days, some media houses have been back announcing that Opoku Nti has been removed in blatant disrespect of the initial advice from the Palace.


Communications Manager, Kwaku Ahenkorah in an interview with Asantekotokosc.com stressed the need for an end to such reports since they do the club no good.


“We are appealing to our colleagues in the media to desist from such announcements. It’s unhelpful and we request that, they put an end to that by respecting the position of Manhyia Palace as stated in their last press statement” said Ahenkorah.

According to Ultimate Sports, the current Board and management of Asante Kotoko will be dissolved to be replaced by Entrepreneur Dr Kwaku Frimpong (Champion Divine) in the course of this week.


The source revealed that the board and management led by Lawyer Paul Adu Gyamfi and Opoku Nti respectively will meet the Owner and life Patron of Asante Kotoko, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at Manhyia on Tuesday where the King of the Ashanti Kingdom is expected to express his appreciation to them for steering affairs of the club for the past two football seasons.


Their tenure will be brought to an end thereafter.


The dissolution of the current administration will be followed by the appointment of Business Mogul and Entrepreneur Dr Kwaku Frimpong(Champion ) who owns a number of business entities including Champion Hospital, Champion Hotel, and Champion TV. Dr Kwaku Frimpong has been one of the major Financial Donors of the Kumasi-based club for some years now.
