Ghana President John Mahama wants fans to forget about the disgraceful World Cup campaign and rally behind the Black Stars at this year’s Africa Cup of Nations.

In Brazil, players threatened to boycott their final Group match against Portugal until their appearance fees were paid.

The Ghana government flew cash of US$ 3 million to pay the player a night before the match and the Black Stars got kicked out at the group stage.

A lot has happened since then and the team will be contesting the Nations Cup trophy in Equatorial Guinea when the tournament starts on 17 January.

President Mahama wants all that forgotten and efforts channeled through Ghana ending her trophy drought.

“The whole Ghana knows what happened in Brazil and I will urge Ghanaians to put that behind them and rally behind the team no matter what,” Mahama said on Angel FM.

“It’s about time we support our own Black Stars and make sure they do well in the upcoming African Cup of Nations.”

    Sorry your excellence, Ghana will be booted out in group stages. You will never win afcon with 16 teams at the tornament and you are just going there to fulfill fixtures. Thanx.

    Congo will surely make mince meet of of your misfiring rubber bullets who have never won a game against any European opposition. Your left legged benchwarmers scattered across Russia and SA are gonna bring sorrow to your poverty infested Zambia Hey Mumbi how is your uncircumcised gay president?

    Thats a lie, your eyes will see our victory and you collapse n can never recover in your life. The mighty hand of God is with us n we will excel. Remember we use inexperienced teenagers to the finals of 2010 in Angola.....

    Shut up mister indecisive president! All the shame and disgrace we going thru was brought to us by your indecisions n poor foresight! Don't this man has more serious things to attend to than always making meddling in football matters? U have nothing better to give ghanaians and though am not a political guy, I hope u are booted out of power in the next election and not only that, U DISGRACE AND RIDICULE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! I can't never understand why this man still keep that afriyie guy in his government? I just hope that one day, PROVIDENCE AND POSTERITY LL JUDGE U HARSHLY!!

    Heheheheee mumbi feel himself honoured by commenting on Great GHANA's president speach. Mumbi i wonder what will happen to you if John Mahama touched you. mumbi was last mouth rashed to the village ebola hospital after he was deported from Liberia where he try to sneak into Ghana his dream country. But was nabbed by an ebola policeman. i know he will soon kick the bucket and join his vampire ancansters.

    Mr man, the same providence n posterity will judge u the same way.you 'Holier than thou'. He is not to b blame for the issues of this country we all are part.more over he is the father of this country n its expected to b also concern with the Stars. I pray God forgive u 4 d terrible words uv spoken against HIS Elect so it will b well with.
