Less than 24 hours after Asante Kotoko Chief Executive Officer Nana Yaw Amponsah challenged the supporters of the Porcupine Warriors to help raise funds to construct the club's own stadium, former player Kwame Poku has heeded the call.

Kwame Poku, currently plying his trade in Algeria for USM Alger, made the donation of $300 towards the construction of the edifice, reports award-winning sports journalist Saddick Adams.

The reigning Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) best sports journalist tweeted about the gesture of Kwame Poku.

What was the CEO's clarion call?

Ambitious football administrator, Nana Yaw Amponsah promised to build a stadium for Asante Kotoko in 18 months.

He explained that should the massive fanbase of the club contribute their quota, raising such a structure will no longer be a figment of the mind eye but a realistic venture.

"I will build a stadium for Asante Kotoko within 18 months if I should get 100,000 committed supporters to contribute $100 each." He told Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM.
