Former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, and his National Democratic Congress party members, have made a donation of GHC 50,000 to newly promoted GPL side, Real Tamale United (RTU).

On his ‘Thank You’ tour of the Northern Region, the NDC flagbearer in the 2020 elections congratulated the club and promised the team he and the NDC MPs will support the team to reclaim its pride in Ghanaian football.
“I want to take this opportunity to congratulate RTU on qualifying to the Premier League and to say that we are all supporters of RTU,” Mahama said, as quoted by Classfmonline.
“And, as the Regional Minister said, let us all come together to support the pride of the North. And, so, between me and the NDC group in parliament led by leader Haruna [Iddrisu], we are going to make a donation of GH¢50,000 to RTU to prepare for the Premier League.
RTU are making a return to the Ghana Premier League for the first time in eight years. The ‘Northern Pride’ have nurtured several top footballers in Ghana including the likes of Stephen Oduro, Mohammed Gargo and Hamza Mohammed.
The team is expected to start preparations in the coming days for next season’s Ghana Premier League as well as the Division One Super League.
