Former Hearts of Oak board chairman, Harry Zakour has expressed his disapproval of Vincent Odotei Sowah's continued presence on the club's board, stating that he does not have the right qualities to work with the team.
In an interview, Zakour claimed that Odotei Sowah's track record at other clubs, including King Faisal and NPP, suggests that he may not be fortunate enough to bring success to Hearts of Oak.
He pointed out that Odotei Sowah was previously paid off by his employers at King Faisal and later at Hearts of Oak, only to leave and join the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“Togbe is doing his best but he need the right people to work with. Odotei is not the right person. He’s been to King Faisal and we all saw what happen, Grusah paid him off. He came to Heart during my time we paid him off and he went to NPP, and he was again paid off. So I don’t know why Hearts of Oak is still keeping him”
“I have nothing against him but he should go and stay somewhere. I’m not saying he is a bad person but maybe he has no luck for the club. Togbe need good people to work with and he is not giving chance to people to work with. I don’t know what’s wrong with Togbe. He is the best, look at the money he is spending. He even demolished the property we bought and rebuild it. He’s done well. Look at Pobiman, he’s really done well for the boys but he must sit up and get some people to run the club well” he added.
The Phobians narrowly avoided relegation in the just-concluded Ghana Premier League campaign, requiring a dramatic win against Bechem United to maintain their top-flight status.
