DKB Clashes With Fan Over ‘Save Ghana Football’ Demo
DKB engaged in a heated exchange with a fan identified as Richie Black Savage on X (Twitter) regarding the Save Ghana Football demonstration held on February 14, 2023.
Richie Black Savage, in a tweet, undermined the significance of the protest and criticized individuals like DKB who failed to contribute to the development of football, including their lack of support for local league games.
The tweep wrote:

A group of Ghanaians, led by prominent sports journalists and others, took to the streets to protest against the poor administration of football in the country on Wednesday, February 14, 2024.
This protest, which began at the Obra Spot near the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, saw demonstrators marching through the main streets towards Black Star Square.
Notable figures such as Saddick Adams (Sports Obama), Patrick Osei Agyemang (Countryman Songo), Collins Atta Poku, and Veronica Commey spearheaded the protest, demanding better management of football in Ghana.
The objective of this demonstration was to exert pressure on the Ghana Football Association (GFA), the Ministry of Youth and Sports, and other football stakeholders to implement reforms that will improve the performance of the sport.
During the protest, a petition was presented to the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, outlining key reforms that are necessary. These reforms include the development of a national football policy and the establishment of a commission of inquiry to investigate the underperformance of the national teams.
Furthermore, the protesters emphasized the importance of accountability in the allocation of funds generated from tournaments like the World Cup, as well as the dissolution of management committees for national teams.
