The Member of Parliament (MP) for Okere, Dan Kweku Botwe, says nobody should draw parallels between Ghana�s �team B� Black Stars and team B ministers. According to him, drawing such a comparison would be dangerous for the well being of the country and its citizens. The MP, who was speaking on Metro TV�s Good Morning Ghana Wednesday, said he had heard people say that if �team B� Black Stars were able to take the nation as far as the finals in the just ended 2010 African Cup of Nations held in Angola, then the Team B ministers of the ruling Mills administration can also take the country far. Holding a contrary view, Mr Dan Botwe said that football has its own dynamics and therefore it would be imprudent for anyone to import such a concept in a totally different field into the affairs of running a government. He adviced members of the Mills government to desist from seeking solace in such an unguarded claim and instead ensure that real �Team A� ministers are appointed to work for the nation. �People should not seek solace in the fact that because Team B Stars reached very far Team B management of the economy too can take us far. Let�s not draw such parallels�,� he cautioned. The NPP MP however praised the Black Stars for displaying lots of determination which resulted in the first qualification of the senior national team for the finals of the Nation�s Cup since 1992.
