Nsoatreman FC distances itself from General Manager's comments over buses promise

Nsoatreman FC have disassociated itself from remarks recently made by their General Manager Eric Alagidede, over vice president Dr Mahamadu Bawumia promise to clubs in the domestic topflight league.

At the launch of his manifesto, Dr Bawumia, who is the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party promised to purchase a bus for each Ghana Premier League outfit when voted to power.

And Alagidede reacting to the promise, asserted that Ghana football administration faces bigger problems beyond provision of buses.

However, his statement were strongly rejected by his own club, who released a statement apologizing while supporting Dr Bawumia's sports policies.

The statement from the club read:

Nsoatreman Football club has taken notice of a media publication in respect of a recent interview by our General Manager, Mr. Eric Alagidede.

The club wishes to clarify the matter as follows:

 

    That the said interview was granted by Mr. Eric Alagidede in his personal capacity as an industry person, not on behalf of the club as the general manager.

    That the club does not subscribe to the opinion of our general manager on the matter and thus dissociates itself from same.

    That Nsoatreman Football Club is a law abiding corporate entity and therefore compliant with all necessary statutory obligations including the payment of taxes for the development of the country.

    That the club fully supports any intervention by government to alleviate the challenges faced by football clubs in the country, including Dr. Bawumia's promise to help each league club acquire a suitable bus for its operations.

    That the Board of Directors of the Club will engage the general manager for the purposes of contextual clarity as far as this matter is concerned.

    The club wishes further, to apologize to all stakeholders and interested parties who may have been inadvertently injured by this matter.
