Ghana international Mubarak Wakaso has sensationally rescinded a statement he made in a recent interview in which he named the nation's big two political parties among the reasons behind the Black Stars' failure at major international tournaments.
Speaking to Angel TV, the midfielder said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), in a bid to discredit each other and to win political points for themselves, have been sabotaging the team.
His comments have drawn wide reaction from the football fraternity and beyond, forcing him to rescind his comments.
