”It’s a village thing to put Otumfuo on your jersey” – Alhaji Grusah tells Kotoko (Video)

The Bankroller of King Faisal Football Club, Alhaji Karim Grusah has slammed the management of Asante Kotoko for embossing the picture of the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu the 2nd on their new jersey.

Asante Kotoko on Tuesday 26th July 2022 unveiled an Otumfuo-inspired jersey for the 2022-23 football season.

The club said the new jersey which had images of Otumfuo is inspired to celebrate His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the life patron of the club as the pillar of the team.

Alhaji Grusah speaking on Kessben TV’s Kick-off Sports show with Tony Montana expressed disappointment over how Otumfuo’s image had to be placed on the new jersey describing it as disrespect and village a village thing.

‘It’s uncivilized to have put Otumfuo on the Kotoko Jersey. In fact, it’s a village thing. Otumfuo is more than that. Otumfuo does not go to war and lose. Maybe these Ashantis don’t know how Otumfuo is valued.

Who does not know Otumfuo is the owner of the club? Which team does that in the world? We put sponsors on Jerseys. This is not maturity, they’ve already done it but they can go back and change. Alhaji said.
