Former Sports Minister Nii Lante: I was advised not to entertain ‘NPP Black Stars players’ in my office

Mubarak Wakaso has revealed that too much partisan politics have really affected the black stars reason for the long trophy drought 

And former Minister of youth, sports and culture Nii Lante Vanderpuye has also confirmed the assertion of Wakaso and has even disclosed more damning information which shows how deep politics have gotten into not only our national team sports in general 

Speaking Saddick Adams on Angel fm, the MP said 

"I agree with Wakasu 100%. Let me be honest partisan politics has badly affected the Black Stars and even some of the Sports Federations. I experienced it as a sports minister. Some people in NPP influenced some of the players against my administration  as minister and I got to know. 

Some of my own party people too tried to influence me and advised me against entertaining some Black Stars players in my office because they believed these players belong to NPP so I should not deal with them. These are facts we have to throw partisan politics out of sports. We have to understand that Sports should be devoid of politics. It is a big challenge.”
