Good morning team. Today’s Mother’s Day visit to Ga East Hospital is very important. The roads are still bad, people are suffering. I will pretend to make a strong appeal to the Minister and the contractor.
Make sure you record everything. Bring good cameras and mics. I will go emotional and kneel down when I speak about the road to the hospital. Film it from different angles – close up on my face when tears come, wide shot when I kneel so it looks powerful.
Dr Mary Awusi, who the hell you think you are?
A mere political appointee threatening Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of a powerhouse with over 4.8 million members worldwide that you’ll deal with him Retract your nonsense and respect the spiritual leader of millions. Shame on you
As General Secretary of Porcupine Tertiary, I have had the rare privilege of observing multiple administrative eras of Asante Kotoko SC—from the stewardship of Dr. KK Sarpong to Dr. Kwame Kyei, through to the transformative tenure of Nana Yaw Amponsah, and now the current Interim Management Committee (IMC). Each administration has contributed to the Kotoko story in distinct ways, but the contrast between the trajectory under Nana Yaw Amponsah and the period following his exit is one that cannot be overlooked.
Nana Yaw Amponsah approached Kotoko not merely as a football club, but as a brand with continental and global relevance. His tenure was characterized by deliberate structural reforms, enhanced corporate governance, and a clear commitment to professionalism. Communication improved, commercial conversations became more intentional, and the club began to position itself as an attractive partner for sponsors and stakeholders. There was a sense of direction. Kotoko knew where it was heading.
For Porcupine Tertiary, this clarity translated into stronger engagement and a renewed sense of belonging. Supporter groups were not treated as peripheral actors but as key stakeholders. We became more organized, more aligned with the club’s vision, and more proactive in projecting the Kotoko identity across tertiary institutions. The brand became something we could confidently carry and amplify.
However, since his departure, there has been a noticeable regression in several key areas. The cohesion that once defined the club’s communication and stakeholder engagement has weakened. Strategic continuity appears disrupted, and the long-term vision that guided decision-making has become less visible. While efforts are being made under the IMC, the absence of a clearly articulated and consistently executed blueprint has created a sense of uncertainty.
From a brand perspective, Kotoko has not maintained the same level of momentum. The structured approach to marketing, digital presence, and global positioning that was gaining traction has slowed, and in some respects, diminished. This has had a direct effect on supporter mobilization. For Porcupine Tertiary, it has become more challenging to sustain the same level of enthusiasm and coordinated activity without the strong institutional backing and narrative that previously existed.
On the field and off it, the difference is not merely about results, but about identity and confidence. Under Nana Yaw Amponsah, there was a growing belief that Kotoko was reclaiming its rightful place, not just as a dominant force in Ghanaian football, but as a professionally run institution. Since then, that belief has been tested. The club appears to be searching again for stability and direction, a situation that underscores the importance of visionary leadership.
It is important to acknowledge that both Dr. KK Sarpong and Dr. Kwame Kyei played their roles in sustaining the club during their respective tenures, each navigating unique challenges. However, Nana Yaw Amponsah’s administration stood out for its holistic approach, one that combined football success with institutional growth and brand elevation.
As we reflect on the current state of Asante Kotoko SC, the comparison is not meant to diminish ongoing efforts, but to highlight the standards that were set and the potential that still exists. For Porcupine Tertiary, his era remains a benchmark. Proof that with the right vision, structure, and leadership, Kotoko can rise beyond limitations and project its greatness on every front.
The task ahead is clear: to rediscover that clarity of purpose, rebuild momentum, and ensure that the foundations laid are not lost but strengthened.
