The former Interim CEO of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Opoku Nti, has shared how his dedicated service to the club officials led to his appointment.

During Dr. Kofi K. Sarpong's tenure as CEO, Nti served as his advisor and played a crucial role in the team's success.

When Dr. Sarpong resigned, Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II appointed Nti as the interim CEO until a permanent appointment could be made.

Nti explained, "You see, I took over from... even though I didn't know it was going to happen, I took over from Dr. KK Sarpong. I was part of his management. I was a special advisor to him, so when he resigned, Kotoko was about to get stuck because we needed to wait until a new appointment was made.

"So Otumfuo Osei Tutu II... I salute you, Nana. He called me and said I should steer the affairs until they put together the structures, which are the board and the management," he said according to myjoyonline.com.

Nti served as interim CEO for three months, during which he had one-on-one meetings with Otumfuo Osei Tutu II until a board was formed.

He noted, "I did it for three months, I had meetings with him [Otumfuo] one-on-one and everything, until a board was constituted. The board was given to me [and] my job description up to now is a question mark."
