However, speaking after extending his contract at the club which will take him until 2023, the Ghanaian defender said football is not war hence people should peacefully cherish their clubs.
“What I want to tell all supporters is that football is love and there is no way it can make us enemies. We should always remember that after football, we are a family and one people,” he said.
