According to Saddick Adams, it is unfortunate for Ghana to exit the AFCON in such a manner and that citizens deserve an apology since the Black Stars is a own by the Ghanaian.
He noted that it is never too late for the GFA and Sports Ministry to render an apology to the Black Stars.
“Wouldn’t it be fair if the GFA and Ministry of Youth and Sports who led the Black Stars apologize and accept that this is the worst AFCON we’ve been to. Admit for people to know that you are in a mess, so Ghanaians forgive you,” Saddick Adams said.
He added, just say “those who stayed awake and believed in us, we offer our sincerest apology for the embarrassment we put you in. Even if it’s a press conference or a small statement and you say this is not how we wanted it to be, we got one point and beaten by one of the poorest teams on the continent, Comoros, we are sorry.”
“So we are coming to regroup and make sure such a thing does not occur. I believe the biggest shareholders are not the football owners but the fans. Apologizing would not change anything, it rather shows that you are running, the office as a corporate entity, so if there is a situation it means you run the entity for those who you are there for. This way people can defend that you have already apologized,” Saddick Adams concluded.
The Black Stars recorded their worst performance at the AFCON after picking up just one point to exit at the group stages. The team led by Serbian coach, Milovan Rajevac lost to Morocco, Comoros and drew against Gabon.
After exiting the tournament, some individual players offered an apology to Ghanaians for their performance, but the GFA and Sports Ministry failed to render a formal apology to the citizenry
