Former Hearts of Oak kingpin, Mohammed Polo has taken a swipe against football administrators calling for the resumption of the Ghana Premier League, saying a lot of things must be considered before a decision is taken.
All sporting activities were suspended in March this year following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
President Nana Akufo-Addo in his 10th address on measures taken to curb the spread of the coronavirus allowed the non-contact sport to resume their normal activities by adhering to the safety protocols.
Ban on contact sports like football is still in full force due to the dangers it entails.
The ban on football activities in Ghana will remain in force until at least 31st July 2020 according to the first gentleman of the land.
In spite of that, a session of football administrators and club owners have expressed disappointment in the president for not lifting the ban on football.
But the 1978 Africa Cup of Nations winner in an interview with Bryt FM has asked football administrators to remain calm as the government take steps to get rid of the disease.
According to him, the situation of the Europeans who have resumed their leagues is different from that of Ghana as he strongly believes they are far advanced.
“I think it is about time football administrators calm down and allow the government to work because the disease is very dangerous. After all human lives are more important than football so we shouldn’t always think about football”
“We cannot compare ourselves to the Europeans because their situation is different from ours. As we speak, the league lack certain things like sponsorships and even paying players has become difficult for clubs. Since government is not prepared to help at the moment we should keep our fingers crossed” he added.
