The Chairman of the Aliu Mahama Foundation (AMF), Gabby Otchere –Darko speaking on how the North has been deprived at the launch of the fifth anniversary celebrations of the passing of the Vice president in Accra said people of the Northern parts of the country have been stigmatized as poor, less educated and underdeveloped than the people of the South.

The government of Ghana in 2005 started renaming the various sports facility after people who have contributed to the growth of sports in the country.
The Kumasi Sports Stadium and the Accra ports Stadium were renamed the Baba Yara Sports Stadium and the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium, respectively.
