3Music Awards and TV boss Baba Sadiq revealed that he wanted to be the Chief Executive Officer of Hearts of Oak, but he is now focused on contesting as a Member of Parliament for Okaikwe Central.
Hearts of Oak have been without a Chief Executive Officer or Managing Director since Frederick Moore left his post in 2020.
US administrator Mark Noonan left his job as the chief of the club, before Frederick Moore took up the post.
Baba Sadiq and former Ghana Football Association Presidential candidate Amanda Clinton have been linked to the top job.
Baba Sadiq says he submitted his curriculum vitae for the Hearts of Oak job, but is now pursuing his political ambition.
"In fact I considered it. When they opened it, I also duly shared my CV. But unfortunately, the engagement hasn’t happened at the time I was expecting it to happen. So as of now for my part, it is off the books,” he told Asempa FM.
“Because of how I do my things, I expected that the engagement would have happened earlier than usual. Mind you, if I take the Hearts of Oak job, it would be at the expense of other career choices I would have made. I was keen on bringing in some magic and verve into the extensive work that has been done by the board. And, the Executive Chairman.
“For the period it was delayed, there were other considerations and as it stands now, I am looking to contest the primaries in Okaikwei Central for my party. And, I have already started work in that regard, pending the official opening of the process by my party,” he added.
