Deputy Sports Minister, Joseph Yamin has categorically stated that among the 500 supporters government will be sponsoring to Brazil for the FIFA 2014 World Cup, grass root supporters of the National Democratic Congress [NDC] will have the majority number. According to him, if his comment will cost him his position as the Deputy Sports Minister, he is ever ready to go. Sports Minister, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah earlier this week disclosed that government through sponsorship will be taking 500 supporters to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup which will kick off on Thursday June 12, 2014. According to the Ministry, government has secured the assistance of private corporate bodies to assist in sponsoring Ghanaians to support the national team at the World Cup. The supporters will be airlifted from the 13, 14, and 15 June 2014 to Brazil in batches. Speaking to the issue, Joseph Yamin pointed out that majority of these supporters will be NDC sympathizers. He insisted that activists of the ruling government will be given the opportunity to travel to Brazil to support the team, adding that NDC supporters deserve to be appreciated for their immense support to help bring back the party into power in 2008. He further stated that the New Patriotic Party [NPP], when it was in power, did a similar thing by airlifting about 250 supporters to the 2006 World Cup in Germany. �If we�re to take supporters to Brazil, i will say without a shred of doubt that majority of those supporters will be members of NDC...In 2006, about 250 supporters were sent to Germany I'm told, though I have no record to prove that...and my checks indicate that only seven NDC members were part of the team. �I will not be hypocrite and say we�ll share it equally. They [NDC supporters] have to benefit from the party they brought to power...You can take it or leave it. We�ll give them their small number and ensure majority of the people we send are NDC supporters.... "They are the people who brought the party to power...You can say whatever you want, but NDC supporters are going to Brazil," Yammin said. He further added that; �whether they like it or not, NDC supporters will be the majority of fans going to Brazil.�
