Abednego Tetteh reveals reason for rejecting Bibiani GoldStars SC contract extension
I rejected a new deal at Gold Stars due to what I’ve been through” – Abednego Tetteh
Ghanaian forward, Abednego Tetteh has disclosed reason for declining contract extension with Bibiani GoldStars SC. He opted not to stay with the Ghana Premier League, stating reason of Ghana Football Association maltreatment to him.
Abednego, a former Hearts of Oak striker joined Bibiani GoldStars SC during the second round of 2022-23 league season on a short-term contract. He switched from King Faisal FC where he had a wonderful camp, scoring twice before leaving.
His splendid campaign with Bibiani GoldStars saw him clinch the Goalking award netting 18 goals.
He is pissed and has expressed reason that, treatment of the GFA to give him GHC5,000 voucher to visit a dentist as GPL goal king prize is the last straw that broke the deadlock.
“The GFA gave me a GHC5,000 voucher to visit a dentist as my GPL goal king prize. I won’t lie, I’m really hurt. How can you give me GHC5,000 to go to a dentist just to wash my mouth, which to me is very disrespectful,” he said.
“I had the opportunity to renew my contract with Bibiani Gold Stars but because of what I have been through I turned it down. I don’t want to win the GPL goal king and get disrespected like this again. So I rather stay away from the GPL, not football entirely. How much is pepsodent?
“Why do you have to tell me to brush my teeth for GHC5,000? The best referee received a car and the best player received GHC20,000 and a Television and I being the top scorer would have appreciated it if they gave me GHC10 airtime rather than the GHC5,000 voucher,” he added.
