Speaking on the matter, nephew of late Ohene Djan and Omanhene of Akuapems, OTUBUO DJAN KWASI II, ABURIMANHENE revealed to Angel FM
“Ohene Djan is my uncle and infact the land which the stadium is located on is not for the Ga’s it belongs to us. We want to let the Ga traditional council know that it’s not we Akuapems cannot talk but the right time will come”.
“We know what went into the naming of Ohene Djan stadium. He did well for Ghana.

“Baba Yara was named after Kumasi Stadium. The Asantehene could have rejected the naming because Baba Yara was not Asante and there are several Asante’s who have also done good for Sports and could have been named. But it is even Ashantis who promote Baba Yara so why was my Uncle’s named removed. We the family feel embarrassed and disappointed.
“We are patiently waiting for to see what the government will do but i must say former President Kuffour did his best by naming the stadium after Ohene Djan. Nana Addo has been in office for four years now so we are calling on him to look into this matter or we will come out at the right time” – Angel FM Accra.
