Hearts of Oak supporters and shareholders are preparing for a demonstration against the club’s management, expressing profound dissatisfaction with its current state.
Led by convenor Eric, the planned protest highlights widespread frustration over unmet promises, particularly concerning the dissolution of the board by team owner Togbe Afede.
Despite recent appointments of a new coach and managing director, supporters remain discontented, pointing to delays in the establishment of a new board.
Togbe Afede’s initial plea for patience until February has been met with disappointment, as news surfaces that the timeline has been extended to March. This extension has further exacerbated unrest among the fanbase and stakeholders.
Speaking to Peace FM, Eric emphasized the demonstrators’ message: “We got our permit before Save Ghana got their permit everything is ready. Concern Hearts of Oak and shareholders are doing the demonstration our message is simple the management of the club is not good,”
He highlighted the broken promises regarding the formation of a new board, which Togbe Afede had pledged to finalize by February. However, the recent announcement of a delay until March has intensified dissatisfaction among supporters.
“We have seen that the way Togbe is handling the team is not good it is a simple message last year at AGM on that day we were about to dissolve the board because their time was up and he pleaded with us that we should give him till February he will constitute a new board.
“But that time the accounts will be ready and we will come and approve it we saw that last week Friday he has pushed it to March it is through this demo that they have made panic decision by appointing a coach and an MD.
Eric outlined the demonstrators’ expectations, stating that they are willing to collaborate with the newly appointed coach but demand that the upcoming board respects and values the supporters’ contributions.
“We have no problem we will work with the coach but we are telling him that the new board he will bring it shouldn’t be those that will come and disrespect the supporters like those there now,”
