I rejected Kurt Okraku’s offer to be GFA Deputy Communications Officer – Saddick Adams

Head of Sports at Angel Broadcasting Network, Saddick Adams, has refuted claims of animosity between himself and the president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku.

As a guest on Metro TV’s One-On-One talk show hosted by Bridget Otoo, Saddick Adams disclosed that he was offered a position in Kurt’s administration, which he refused to take up.

“He, Kurt, called me [to say] that he wanted to offer me a Deputy Communications Director job. My brother Henry was there; 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 criticized. So, psychologically, I thought I needed a gap,” he narrated.

On his relationship with the GFA president, Saddick Adams, who has been a fierce critic of the administration, said he and Kurt Okraku share a brotherly relationship.

“Kurt Okraku is like my brother. I am not sure any football person has ever stayed with me late at night and left my house around 2 am. 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.
