Hearts of Oak board chairman Togbe Afede XIV has expressed disappointment towards a section of the club’s supporters who organised a protest against the board earlier this week.
The fans took to the streets on Monday to express their dissatisfaction with the board’s management of the club, specifically citing concerns about the team’s poor performance on the field.
The club is currently ranked 11th in the Ghana Premier League and was eliminated from the MTN FA Cup, raising the possibility of a trophyless season.
In response to the protest, Togbe Afede highlighted the various infrastructure improvements made during his tenure, querying the motives behind the demonstration.
During a tour of the club’s Phobia House on Tuesday, he posed the question, “What do they want? What do they want?” before answering himself, “What do they want that we haven’t done? We’ve done everything. After all this, the only thing that Hearts doesn’t have is a stadium.”
Togbe emphasised that the club is superior to its peers, stating, “We are streets ahead of all our counterparts. I would even say that we will come out as one of the very best in the whole of the subregion.”
On-field success has been limited during his decade-long tenure, with the club achieving only one league title and two FA Cups.
Hearts of Oak are set to face Real Tamale United this weekend as the league returns for the second round.
