I won’t invest in football, you failed to elect George Afriyie as President- Kennedy Agyapong

Business mogul and member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has stated that he will no longer invest in football as he promised some years ago because delegates and club officials failed to elect George Afriyie as the President of the Ghana Football Association.

Dreams FC owner, Kurt Okraku defeated George Afriyie who served at the Vice President of the association under the embattled Kwesi Nyantakyi to win the presidential spot during the October 25, 2019 elections held in Accra.

Kennedy Agyapong had earlier gone on record and pledged to invest in football at George Afriyie’s birthday party two years ago but has said he will no longer invest in football because his candidate lost the elections.

“He (George Afriyie) is my friend and I would have come on board to support him but he didn’t win the elections so I won’t support it(association).”

“You didn’t vote for the person whom I can reason with about some of the challenges confronting Ghana football so why should I waste my money to come and support you?

“Read my lips I won’t do that. “Kennedy Agyapong told Accra based Oman FM.
