In a related development, former Sports Minister Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye is calling on Ghanaians to put political affiliations aside and rally behind the various sporting disciplines to achieve their goals.
According to the former minister, sports is an entertainment that bring people together so bringing partisan politics into it will not let the country achieve its goal.
"Let me be honest, partisan politics has badly affected the Black Stars and even some of the Sports Federations,†he said.
“I experienced it as a Sports Minister. Some people in NPP influenced some of the players against my administration as minister and I got to know,†he added.
“Some of my own party people too tried to influence me and advised me against entertaining some Black Stars players in my office because they believed these players belonged to NPP so I should not deal with them.
