International Relations Manager of Kotoko Kwame Baah Nuako says resigned Executive Chairman Dr KK Sarpong wants to stay clear of controversies surrounding his stewardship.
Dr Sarpong is alleged to have under declared the fees of players sold to foreign clubs during his three-year tenure but the chartered accountant has constantly denied all that.
The former Tema Oil Refinery managing director tendered in his resignation letter to the owner of Kotoko the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on Monday.
Baah Nuako a close ally to Dr. Sarpong says the chartered accountant is fed up with the controversies surrounding his administration.
''He has a feeling he’s done three years, some successes have been achieved and some failures had come his way,'' he told Joy sports.
''Looking at the politics and the intricacies of the game and the fact that he is the board chairman of three financial institutions he feels that controversies that have been orchestrated by some people is not something he wants to be associated with.''
