Former Asante Kotoko Board Member Kennedy Agyapong popularly known as Kenpong has called the club’s faithful to refrain from chastising Sammy Osei Kuffuor.

To the highly respected former Director of Kotoko, speaking ill of the former Bayern Munich central defender will create division in the team especially among the top hierarchy.

Speaking to this writer on his view on the Kuffour saga, he said “Fans should not rejoice should the owner of the club, Otumfuo decides not to hand Kuffour the Kotoko top job.

“Kuffour has come under intense public criticism since granting interview on TV. As human as he is, I don’t think he meant evil by going public. For me I think he did that out of the insatiable love he has for club. Don’t forget he is still a board member.”

“Painting Kuffuor black will create enmity between him and Opoku Nti, who is still in office. We should rather concentrate on how to build a formidable side for the future.”

“I believe the highly respected king will bring in somebody or maintain the Paul Adu Gyamfi led board, who will take the club to higher heights.

“He has done it before, and I believe he would make us all happy by bringing somebody after his own heart to turn the fortunes of the club.”

“Let’s remain united and stop pointing accusing fingers at one management member or the other,” the former Kotoko director advised.

The president of Kenpong Group of Companies has served and supported the club’s previous administrators till date.
