The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has faced criticism from some football fans on social media after stating that Black Stars players would be given first-class flights to tour every district in the country if they win the 2026 World Cup.
The minister, in his earlier comments on Starr Chat, stated that he would ensure the government books first-class flights for all Black Stars players to visit every district in Ghana as a way of celebrating the unprecedented achievement, if it is realized.
But response to this, some individuals labelled the minister as an “unserious” person for making a promise about something that is highly difficult to achieve, considering the team’s performances compared to foreign countries.
Others stated that some remarks by Kofi Adams regarding sports show that he is naive about the activity and could be dismissed by the President John Dramani Mahama if he continues in that regard.
Some people admonished the minister to focus on delivering as the sports minister instead of granting plenty of interviews to explain his policies and making promises.

Kofi Adams is clearly not fit for the job.
He is just like Mustafa

Talking about flights when we have just 4 airports in 16 regions.

This guy doesn’t deserve the ministerial position; he’s become the mouthpiece for the GFA . He hasnt introduced any single reform in the RESET agenda. okudzeto has done sumtin with passport fees & Sam george did allo data package but kofi adams? Nothing, correct me if im wrong

Naaa! I don’t believe Kofi said that. Or it could be that he wanted to create some kind of humor. I’m not surprised about the winning aspect (even though that also is funny) but the First Class Flight Tour in the districts. Seriously?! Eii! Kofi! Maybe I didn’t understand you🙂

The guy might be Mahama’s wrong selection as a minister…I see signs everyday and his facial alone shows a lot
