I wish to express hearty wishes of success to Kenya’s national football team @HarambeeStars_ as they play Ghana’s #BlackStars in today’s #AFCONQualifers in Accra. Your winning spirit reverberates across the entire country & I look forward to attending many matches in the future.

Bonuses is a sensitive issue in Ghanaian football, during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the government had to charter a private jet to deliver the players hard cash as they threatened to give a walkover.

Ghana and Kenya will be locking horns competitively for the second time, the first encounter was the first leg of the match played last year in Kenya which Kenya won 1-0.
