Jomoro MP Dorcas Toffey releases statement on Proud United takeover
The Member of Parliament for Jomoro Constituency Honorable Dorcas Affo-Toffey has released statement following the takeover of Division One League side Proud United.
The astute Politician entered into an agreement with Proud United to acquire 100% ownership of the National Division One League outfit for an undisclosed fee.
Reacting and responding to her role as Proud new owner, Hon Dorcas Toffey used her Facebook page to address the lovely people of Jomoro and reasons why she took that bold step.
“I have a motive to help Jomoro develop through diverse means such that it becomes a destination for investors, which would help promote Job creation in the area.
Without unity, we can never experience progress.
So I chose to begin that journey with soccer simply because it promotes unity amongst a people. Based on that unity, we can further pursue other developmental initiatives.
Though I represent my party, the NDC, but as MP I am for all the people of my constituency. I do not discriminate.
It is in this light that I have bought a division one team to represent Jomoro, hence the name, ‘Jomoro United FC.’
Pls NB: I have not received any Common Fund yet.
Aside from fostering unity, soccer is a great source of employment and entertainment for the youth in Jomoro some of whose ambitions are to become professional footballers.
The vision is to elevate Jomoro to a higher standard in the next 5 years or less.
On that score, I would like to urge all of my constituents, the good people of Jomoro, to rally behind Jomoro United FC for success to prevail in order to realise the motive behind getting us a division one team which we pray will eventually migrate unto the Ghana Premier League.
It is not my team, but our team.
Thank you.”
