“This is my country and everybody knows that and this is Black Stars,” the former CAF 1st vice president told Accra based Onua FM.

“When the Black Stars are playing, everybody supports the team and that is what I am also going to do.

“Let us all unite and support the team because when the team performs everybody will say Ghana and not one person’s name.

“This is not the time to be saying stuff that divides the country. Let us all stay united and support the team,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Black Stars will head to Cameroon from their camping base in Doha.
