Former Managing Director of Accra Hearts of Oak, Neil Armstrong Mortagbe has called on Ghanaians to accept the apology rendered by Mubarak Wakaso and forgive the Black Stars midfielder.

Wakaso in an interview with Angel fm attributed Black Stars failure to winning the AFCON for the past 38 years to political interference with specifics to the ruling NPP and the opposition NDC.

Wakaso told Angel TV: ''I will speak the truth today. Do you know our problem about the game?

''Maybe we know but we don’t want to say it. But I think politics ruins the Blacks Stars at times. When NDC is in power, NPP doesn’t want us to win and vice versa.''

Wakaso’s statement generated a lot of rage and fury nationwide with many calling for an apology from the Chinese based rugged midfielder.

Wakaso took to his Twitter handle to render an apology to the entire nation.

“I saw his tweet where he has apologized to Ghanaians.”

“For some of us who have been in the game of football for long and know his contributions to the national team, I feel Ghanaians should forgive him.”
