If promises were trophies Ghana would have gotten a dozen under sacked Goran Stevanovic. His promises were many and enticing but not a single one materialized. None, because they were just promises, never to be kept. And I say this with all the conviction I can muster because that man insulted Ghanaians and sadly many including some of my colleague journalists gave in. He told the world he will resign if Ghana failed to make it to the finals of the just ended Nations Cup in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea and more importantly if Ghana failed to win the trophy. On his return after the Black Stars succumbed to a semi-final defeat to eventual winners Zambia, Plavi as he is affectionately called, made an outrageous U-turn insisting he never said he will resign. I would rather he was bold to admit saying it and reminded us of this cliché which says it is only a fool who doesn’t change his mind. I was ready to go along with that and not the blatant insult he shoved in our faces. Unfortunately but not deliberately, a truncated interview of him saying “if you want me to” was played on radio as an answer to the question “would you resign if Ghana fails to win the trophy?” The question was posed by a journalist, Kuuku Yankah. That truncated audio inadvertently portrayed some journalists, including myself as fabricating and putting words in his mouth and rather appeared to have vindicated Plavi. I say on record that as a journalist-human as I am- I have made mistakes a few times but none, absolutely none of them can be traced to fabrication. If my December 18, 2011 story about Plavi's promise to resign was wrong and fabricated, all the stories i have done in my ten years of journalism are wrong and fabricated. This link provides the full length of the question and answer session between Kuuku Yankah and Plavi on the day he was outdooring his provisional 25 man list for the AFCON tournament. If there are still doubting Thomases, that particular press conference was telecast on Metro TV and we can always get the full recording if challenged. I hope it doesn’t come to that. Plavi was never my fan and I told him quite bluntly on the day he was introduced to the media by the FA that his CV alone for me does not show a person competent for the job. My only caveat was for him to prove me wrong- as if I matter in the scheme of things. He proved me wrong, albeit for a short period with his sweet promises which sank in like the rap of a play boy to an innocent virgin girl. And what did he do in the end, he vindicated my earlier position that he is unfit for the job but only this time he insulted the collective memory and intelligence of Ghanaians in the process.
