Running mate to the flag bearer of the New
Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu
Bawumia, has revealed that he is a supporter
of premiership side, Wa All Stars. Dr. Bawumia
speaking on Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports
Show on Wednesday said he started supporting the club owned by Ghana Football
Association (GFA) President, Kwesi Nyantakyi
after the Real Tamale United (RTU) was
relegated to the first division. “It’s just a shame
that Real Tamale United (RTU) is not in the
premiership, I have moved to support Wa All Stars…,” he said. Dr. Bawumia, however, said
that due to a lecture he had, he was unable to
go to watch them play against Hasaacas.
According to the former Governor of the Bank
of Ghana, he is an ardent football fan and was
also a table tennis player during his school days. The NPP man further said that an NPP
administration would invest in sports when
elected into power since the sector generates
more income that can turn the country’s GDP
around.
