Government still owe us - U-20 World Cup winner

Former Ghana U20 Star Daniel Addo has insisted Goverment must fulfil the promised made to them after conquering the world to win the World Under 20 Championship in 2009.

According to the former King Faisal defender, the then President of Ghana the late Professor Atta Mills promised to invest a certain amount of their bonuses in their names but they are yet to be informed about the interest after ten years.

The defender also revealed the players inquired about their interest but were told it’s in the period of 15 years.

Speaking exclusively to Richmond k Entsie gfa, Addo insisted Government must tell the players how far the interest has gotten to and when the players are getting their share of the money because many things don’t add up.

“One thing I’m worried about is the investment that was done in our names , I pray we are remembered when the time is due for the collection of the investment.

“I have a certificate to that effect and that U20 squad, we do have our whatsapp platform and we do discuss about it.

“We actually took a step but the response wasn’t encouraging. The investment is for a period of 10 to 15 years and we were told by the then President of Ghana about it.

“But when we inquired it wasn’t like that, it’s rather a period of 15 years. We just want to know how far the interest has gotten to.

“The initial deposit of Ghc 10000 was even a false, we are supposed to gain a total of Ghc 170,000 in 15 years time, but the feedback proves otherwise”

The defender also expressed his disgust upon hearing a journalist blaming them for requesting for their money.

“I wasn’t happy when I heard a journalist claiming that we are requesting for the money because some of us have a truncated career.

“We took the words of the president, but things are proving to be something else . If some of the money is given to insurance companies then some of our teammates who ve suffered injury should have benefited from it” He bemoaned.
