The chairman of the National Chapters Committee of Accra Hearts of Oak, Eric Barima Atuahene, has descended heavily on board member of the club, Alhaji Akambi for allegedly squandering the club’s budget.
The allegation of Barima Atuahene follows report that players of Heart of Oak junior side (Auroras) sleep at the club’s Secretariat due to lack of shelter.
The state of the mother club, Atuahene alleged further has moved from bad to worse due to neglect of the welfare of team players.
The allegations of corruption levelled against Alhaji Akambi by Barima Atuahene follows the latter’s claims that Hearts of Oak only gave him GH₵ 3,600 to rent apartments for some players in the Auroras team for a three-year period which he did.
But Barima Atuahene insists ‘the room Alhaji Akambi rented for the Auroras boys was nothing to write home about.’
He further added that ‘he just squandered the money the club gave him”.
“He is solely destroying the club. Akambi claimed he spent GHC 180.00 on porridge a day for Hearts of Oak players which were false because we sent a different person to buy the same thing and he spent just GHC50.00″, he alleged further.
‘Akambi is to be blamed for Heart of Oak’s woes,” he claimed.
However, in a sharp rebuttal, Alhaji Akambi refuted the allegations saying that he has done nothing wrong and has always been professional in his dealings with the club.
The club has been chasing the Ghana Premier League trophy for eight years now and still counting; there is no hope that that dream can be realised any moment.
