Vincent Oppong Asamoah, former deputy sports minister
Former deputy sports minister Vincent Oppong Asamoah has disclosed that the potential backlash associated with a ministerial role is too significant to ignore.
As such, Oppong Asamoah has expressed his reluctance to take on the top position, citing the intense scrutiny and insults that accompany it.
With President Mahama yet to reveal his nominations for the Minister for Sports and Recreation role, Oppong Asamoah was asked during an interview with Happy FM if he would consider taking up the mantle.
However, the former deputy sports minister declined the idea, citing criticism and backlash as the main reasons.
“No, I don’t want it because of these plenty of insults. Even if I’ll listen to the President, I won’t want a role that is full of insults.”
“Sports is not an option because you’ll go home without enough money but with lots of insults,” he said.
