‘Dr Kwame Kyei will happily and willingly accept the call to serve Kotoko again’ – Nana Coker

After serving their three-year mandate, the 12-member board of Asante Kotoko was dissolved by Manhyia following the submission of their reports for the period of their work.

Nana Gyambib Coker, a former management member, spoke in an interview with Akoma FM about DR. Kwame Kyei’s willingness to lead Asante Kotoko again if called upon by Manhyia. During Dr. Kwame Kyei’s previous administration, Mr. Coker was part of the management team.

Coker clarified that Dr. Kwame Kyei is not the owner of the newly promoted Nations FC but the owner of the team is, in fact, his sons. He also revealed the main reason behind Dr. Kwame Kyei’s purchase and renovation of the Dr. Kwame Kyei sports complex in Abrankese, stating that it was to serve the interests of Asante Kotoko.

Regarding the speculation about Dr. Kwame Kyei’s possible return to a leadership position in Kotoko, Coker said he cannot confirm or deny the reports, but he emphasized that if called upon by His Royal Majesty, Dr. Kyei would gladly accept the call, being a true son of Asanteman and a servant of the Golden stool.

“For now I will say Dr. Kwame Kyei is my father, I cannot confirm or deny that he (Dr. Kyei) could be retained as the board chairman or made the executive chairman of Kotoko. I have seen and read speculations in the media to that effect but I am unable to speak to that news,” he said in an interview with Akoma FM in Kumasi.

“Let me use this occasion to clear this wrong impression on the actual owner of Nations Football Club, Nations Fc is not for Dr Kyei but rather his two children, the stadium (Dr. Kyei Complex) is his personal property. The main reason he bought and renovated the stadium was to serve the interest of Kotoko”

“Should His Royal Majesty call on him anytime, he (Dr. Kyei) will happily and willingly accept the call, he cannot turn his back on Manhyia as a true son of Asanteman and a servant of the Golden stool.”

As the Porcupine Warriors prepare for the upcoming season, a new board of directors is expected to be named in the coming days, along with a new management team, following the submission of the three-year report.
