Cheddar asserted that Ghanaians watched too much football and expressed his plans to develop the sporting industry in Ghana.
He said;
"I think if you watch football for two hours almost every two days, in a year, you would have spent about a thousand or five hundred hours of your time watching football that somebody is getting paid $500k a week. You watch them for free and pay your hours into it. I don't think that's a good investment because your time is your most important asset."
Cheddar tears into Ghanaian football academies
In his presentation, Cheddar criticised Ghana's inability to fully develop footballing talents, leaving them with no backup plan if things don't pan out as planned.
Nana Kwame Bediako, who has set his eyes on acquiring EPL teams, Chelsea or Manchester United, said he aims to mainstream football into Ghana's educational system so talents can develop holistically.
He slammed institutions like the Right To Dream Academy behind global prospects like Ernest Nuamah and Mohammed Kudus. It was unclear what his issues with the academy's model were.
Cheddar recounts his nationwide tour
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Cheddar had shared his experiences from embarking on a campaign visit to all of Ghana's 16 regions.
The presidential candidate bemoaned the poverty and struggle he witnessed touring the country.
In his State of the Nation Address, he noted the government's neglect and lack of investment in people and communities nationwide.
