Ghanaian sports journalists have obtained a police permit to stage a nationwide demonstration against the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Sports Ministry.
Ghana’s disappointing performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) has triggered these personalities.
The Black Stars’ campaign at AFCON 2023 ended prematurely after a series of lackluster performances, including a crucial defeat to Cape Verde in the opening match. Despite initial leads in subsequent games against Egypt and Mozambique, defensive lapses led to crucial equalizers, ultimately resulting in Ghana’s untimely elimination with only two points.
Notable figures among the journalists spearheading this demonstration include Saddick Adams, widely known as ‘Sports Obama’. Patrick Osei Agyemang, popularly referred to as ‘Countryman Songo’ alongside Veronica Commey are all involved. Nana Yaw Kesse, Odiahenkan, and others have also rallied behind the cause.

The journalists assert that urgent measures need to be taken to ensure improved performances in major competitions.
