President of Ghana Want Victory Against Egypt

Ghana President John Dramani Mahama has tasked the Black Stars to edge past Egypt in Tuesday’s crucial 2014 playoffs first leg tie in Kumasi.

“We have come a very long way to this point. All the matches we’ve played have finally come down to one match.

“And that match is the last hurdle we have to cross to be in Brazil. So this match is more important than all the matches we’ve played.

“So let’s focus on this match, Egypt and let’s defeat them.

“I took time off to see you. I am the chief supporter of your team, the leader of this country and to tell you that the whole country is solidly behind you.

“Whatever we will do, is to support you to win this match. We will do our bit but all of us cant go on the pitch so those who are going to represent us can expect nothing but our support.

“I want to thank you very much, I wish you good luck. We count on you, we will pray for you, we know God is on our side. We will pray to the almighty God to give you victory.
