After Hearts of Oak’s victory against Real Bamako, the National Chapters Committee’s (NCC) deputy organiser, Abass Sule, commonly known as Sabuto, expressed his dissatisfaction to Board Member Vincent Odotei Sowah.
Caleb Amankwah scored a goal for the home team Accra Hearts of Oak in the second half, but the outcome was still not enough to guarantee promotion to the competition’s next round.
Accra Hearts of Oak needed to overcome a 3-0 goal deficit they had given up in Mali during the first leg of the match, but they managed to win their first game of the year despite the outcome not being what they had expected.
Before the club’s victory last Sunday, the National Chapters Committee had urged former players, former management members, and all other club stakeholders to unify to assist the club turnaround the first-leg defeat.
The National Chapters Committee provided subsidized buses and tickets to the spectators at vantage places, notably Circle Overhead, Pokuase, and Accra Newtown, as part of measures to provide easy access to the stadium.
Following Sunday’s result, which saw a team eliminated from the tournament in the first round for the second time in a row, the multitude of supporters gathered outside the VIP box demanding the resignation of two Board Members, Vincent Sowah Odotei and Alhaji Braimah Akambi.
The trustworthy and outstanding editors of www.atspo.com can confirm that Board Member Vincent Odotei Sowah got into a fight with a few National Chapters Committee Executives in the first half of the game.
Sabuto, the National Chapters Committee’s deputy organiser, had little interaction with the aforementioned board member, but it took the chairman, Elvis Herman Hesse, to step in and order a cease-fire.
After their game last Sunday, the National Deputy Organiser talked to Kumasi FM. In an interview with seasoned local news anchor Opoku Afriyie Richmond, Sabuto stated, “Had it not been for Elvis Herman Hesse, I would have beaten Odotei. Elvis held my hand to prevent me from hitting Odotei. When he was approaching me, Elvis was very swift to hold him back. One other person held me, and Elvis pushed me away. I told Herman that I was disappointed in him. “
