General Manager of Accra Great Olympics, Eric Alagidede, has urged Ghanaian politicians to take a cue from the late Dr. Edward Omane Boamah’s unwavering support for local football by actively promoting the sport, especially through their social media platforms.
Dr. Omane Boamah, a former Deputy Minister for Youth and Sports and General Coordinator for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, died in a helicopter crash alongside Environment Minister Dr. Murtala Mohammed and six others in the Ashanti Region.
He was a passionate Asante Kotoko fan and widely respected for using his public platform to spotlight Ghanaian football.
“These are the calibre of leaders we want to see. You don’t just support a club and say you’re a club supporter,” Alagidede said in an interview on Luv FM.
He praised Dr. Boamah’s consistent football-related posts across X, Facebook, and Instagram, noting their potential to attract new fans.
“There are people on his timeline who may not be interested in football… but they may develop some love for the club that he supports,” Alagidede explained.
He also commended the current Ashanti Regional Minister and KMA boss for their visible support and urged others to use their platforms similarly.
“If you are a minister… tweet about Hearts of Oak or Kumasi Asante Kotoko… you may not know the impact,” he added.
