According to Dare, it is not 100 percent guaranteed that the President will attend the second leg, but he is likely going to be present.

He said: “I was in Lagos yesterday (Tuesday) and the President [Muhammadu Buhari] asked me why I was not in Ghana and I realized that the President also knows that there is a Ghana match.

“He has not given me 100 percent assurance, but he is likely going to show up here (second leg) on the 29th as a surprise.”

He added, “So I wish you the best, all I can do is pray and support you. I had to give you a good pitch here. I am glad they (players) liked it.”
