If elected president in the 2024 general election, Dr Kwabena Duffuor, a former Minister of Finance and current flagbearer hopeful for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has promised to prioritize the development of sports in Ghana.
He plans to achieve this by building sports stadia in all regions of the country to improve the industry, which he believes has been neglected for too long.
Dr Duffuor stressed the importance of investing in sports and believes that constructing modern sports facilities across the country would help to develop the sector.
Dr Duffuor said, “I will build stadia across all regions when voted as President,” he toldAkoma FM
“There is a need to invest hugely in sports, especially infrastructure. When we went to Essipong, it was an eyesore to invest in a project like that and watch it spoil without proper care.”
“So we have decided to build ultra-modern stadia across all regions in Ghana when voted as President and even extend it to the District level so we can develop talents rather than relying on foreign base players.”
“So if we want to develop Ghana football, then we must invest hugely.”
Dr Duffuor faces stiff competition from other candidates in the internal party elections, including former president John Dramani Mahama and former Kumasi Mayor Kojo Bonsu.
Nonetheless, he remains optimistic and has assured party members that he has the vision and experience to lead Ghana to greater heights.
