Head of Sports at Angel Broadcasting Network, Saddick Adams, has denied any allegations of hostility between himself and Kurt Okraku, the president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
During an appearance as a guest on Metro TV’s One On One talk show, hosted by Bridget Otoo, Adams clarified that he was indeed offered a position within Kurt’s administration, which he chose not to accept.
“He called me and said that he wanted to offer me a Deputy Communications Director job. My brother Henry was there, and I said, Okay, I am thinking about it.
“But I thought that I wasn’t psychologically ready because it was just at the end of Nyantakyi’s era and also at the end of the Normalisation Committee, which I criticised… So, psychologically, I thought I needed a gap,” he narrated.
Despite being a vocal critic of the administration, Saddick Adams, who has garnered a reputation as a fierce critic, stated that he maintains a fraternal bond with Kurt Okraku, the president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
“Kurt Okraku is like my brother. I am not sure any football person has ever stayed with me late in the night and left my house around 2 a.m. He stayed with me long before he became the GFA president. I used to go to his office at least once a month,” he stated.
Saddick, known as Sports Obama, and a group of journalists are rallying Ghanaians for a protest slated for February 14, 2024, on the back of the decline in Ghanaian football in recent times.
