The Ghanaian Times bemoans the internal conflict in the Accra Hearts of Oak. The Paper notes that the club is the oldest in the country and thus has the largest followers. The Times attributes its decline in performance to the misunderstanding between Board members. It points at the trade in abusive words between two very influential figures of the club, Alhaji Suleman and Togbe Afede as the genesis of the problem. The Times finds it puzzling how officials of the club who are clearly passionate about the team will engage in unprofessional activities that only drag the club's image in the wrong direction. The Paper therefore urges officials, supporters and sympathizers of Accra Hearts of Oak to get behind the problem as the new league season begins in order to get the club back to its glory days. 

The Daily Graphic congratulates the police on watching over Ghanaians during the festive season and reducing the incidence of armed robbery and other illegal activities by armed gangs in the communities. The Paper believes that attacks on traders lend credence to the need to promote a cashless society. The Graphic urges the police to increase its patrols to make the communities and highways safe at all times.  The Paper asks passengers commuting to other places and traders who often ply the highways to travel with little or no cash and valuables, especially if it is at night. The Graphic also encourages big bus companies to consider employing the services of the Ghana Police Service and other security services on the buses to provide security for their passengers to stem the spate of robberies on the highways.
