His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the owner and life patron of Asante Kotoko, has revealed his decision to retain control of the club for the time being.
This choice stems from the ongoing efforts to settle the debt accumulated by previous management.
Speaking at a gathering with players, coaching staff, and the interim management committee, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II disclosed that he has already disbursed GH₵5 million towards clearing a portion of the debt.
“I spent GH₵5 million to clear some of the debt of past management. This is the reason I don’t want to hand over my team to any individual at the moment.
“I will personally call the GFA to dissolve Kotoko before you take the club to relegation,” Otumfuo Osei Tutu II said.
In the midst of this, Otumfuo has urged Asante Kotoko to promptly reverse their string of seven winless games.
Prior to their upcoming Ghana Premier League match against Samartex FC, Otumfuo has emphasised the importance of securing victory in the upcoming fixture.
