Multi millionaire and a sports enthusiast, Chairman Wontumi has waded into the affairs of Kumasi-based football club, Asante Kotoko, by offering a useful suggestion towards addressing a major concern of the top club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chairman Wontumi whose attention was drawn to the deplorable nature of the main access road to the Kotoko Training Complex at Adako Jachie stressed that, the management of his darling club has critical duty to perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wish to strongly suggest to the Kotoko management team to immediately contact the Ashanti Regional Directorof Urban Roads to draw his attention to the urgent need to improve the road.\u201d He said<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wontumi Sports Programme head, King Eben<\/strong><\/em>, who brought to the attention of Chairman Wontumi the dusty nature of the Adako Jachie road used the occasion to solicit his personal intervention in fixing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chairman Wontumi who demonstrated his willingness to help give the important road a face lift strongly advised that, the club\u2019s management should tread the path he has proposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI will come on board the moment management has finished their first assignment.\u201d He said<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the big issue of an early completion of the Kotoko training grounds project, Chairman Wontumi again offered a suggestion to the Kotoko management to initiate a fund raising project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA \u201cYibima\u201d\u2019 project will surely enable management to raise the needed capital to complete the delayed project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He continued that, the fund raising should not be limited to only cash gifts but the donation of building materials like cement to augment whatever efforts would be put in place to solicit public support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chairman Wontumi who is yet to make any noticeable investment in sports may be using his occasional appearances on \u2018King Eben\u2019s Sports Programme in recent times as an \u201cAmicus Curiae\u201d to warm himself up to pull up a dumbfounding surprise to the sports fraternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A sports pundit who has closely been monitoring from the sidelines, Chairman Wontum\u2019s emerging new love for sports especially, with respect to his recent pronouncements on controversial sports related issues said this could be an indication that the fabulously rich businessman \u201cis waming himself up to take the football arena by storm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to him, just recently, Chairman Wontumi questioned why a team like Kotoko could not engage the services of the world\u2019s greatest footballer Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTo the ordinary person, buying Messi to play for Kotoko is clearly an utopian dream but to Chairman Wontumi whose wealth is calculated in billions signing Messi to play for Kotoko is a task easier to accomplish than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sports pundit added that by spending time these days to talk sports first on King Eben\u2019s early morning programme before delivering his popular daily \u201cpolitical sermons\u201d on Wontumi TV\/Radio<\/strong><\/em> which has given him a huge international following, Chairman Wontumi\u2019s newly found love for Sports is suggestive of something big in the pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI believe that the unpredictable tough political master planner has spotted gold\u00a0 somewhere in football\u00a0 which no body is privy to\u2026. And do you blame him? After all he is a prominent miner and it\u2019s only in sports that gold can be won as a prize .I think naturally, he \u00a0easily gets attracted to gold. King Eben has to keep Chairman Wontumi busy in disclosing \u00a0his hidden sports agenda. I believe he has a message which is golden \u00a0up his sleeve. Let\u2019s wait and see.\u201d He noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WATCH THE VIDEO:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
