Kumasi, Jan 18, - The Management
of Asante Kotoko S/C and the Club’s supporters have smoothed over their
differences over a recent sponsorship deal with Charger Limited, producers of
‘Happy Man Bitters’- an alcoholic drink.
The National Circles Council had
entered into agreement with the company without approval of the management and
this generated a lot of heat as the latter vowed to stop the company from using
Kotoko’s logo in any form for their advertisement.
Calm has now been restored
following the intervention of the Asantehene, Owner and Life Patron of the
Club.
Mr. Kwaku Amponsah, Chairman of
the Circles Council, confirmed this to the GNA Sports in Kumasi.
He hailed Otumfuo Osei Tutu II
for moving quickly to get things amicably resolved in the interest of Kotoko.
He added that a committee
appointed by the Asantehene and chaired by Baffour Asare Owusu Amankwatia VI,
the Bantamahene, had handled matters “to the satisfaction of all sides”.
“We are okay with the way things
have gone and we think Kotoko is the winner.”
Mr. Amponsah rallied the
supporters to unite solidly behind their idol club as it readied for the CAF
Confederation Cup tournament.
They should focus on helping
Kotoko to once again conquer Africa.
