Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, Joseph Yammin has said the majority of Ghanaian supporters who will be sent to Brazil to support the Black Stars for the FIFA 2014 World Cup will come from the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“If the responsibility is that we should send supporters to Brazil, then I will say it and say it again that everybody in Ghana will go but the majority will come from the NDC”, he stated.
The move, he said, is in retaliation to the sending of mainly New Patriotic Party supporters to Germany for the World Cup in 2006.
He made the remark on Sika FM in Kumasi about two months ago.

On Wednesday, he reiterated his position on Asempa FM in Accra when he was called for clarification.
But he however said it was mischievous for people to bring the issue up for discussion now, two months after he made the remarks.
He said he had no regrets for making such comments because he had no bad intentions and stands by it.
