Go for a ‘kill’-Samini urges Black Stars

Renowned Ghanaian artiste Samini has urged the Black Stars to ‘go for a kill’ when they face off with Mozambique on Monday in their final Group B match of the ongoing African Cup of Nations(AFCON) in Ivory Coast.

The celebrated reggae, highlife and dancehall great who is currently in Abidjan to support the team said, after losing and drawing the first two games, it was only vital to go for a win this time.

“It is not an easy position to be in now as a team, but I will urge the Black Stars to keep their heads up,be focused and go for a kill after losing and drawing the first games,” he stated.

He added that, it was becoming more difficult to sit at home and watch so he thought it would be better to be in Abidjan in person to add his energy to Ghana’s last group game.

“So that if we are lucky,we get a win and stay in the competition because it would not be good to go home like this.So I am here to add my energy to the last energy that is left so that we see what happens,” he stressed.

“In our last game, we gave goals away for free but if we are able to hold tight and not make such mistakes, we can win 2-0 against Mozambique,” he predicted.

Samini joined some over 150 Ghanaian supporters fully sponsored by telecommunications giants MTN to Ivory Coast to support the Black Stars.

MTN over the years, had been one of the major sponsors of the Black Stars, extending their commitment to ensuring that fans were present at international competitions to support the team.

The outfit supported several Ghanaians to cheer the Black Stars at the last World Cup in Qatar and now, the AFCON in Ivory Coast and committed to sustaining their sponsorship in subsequent competitions.
