Adonko began by promoting Angel Herbal Products, working across a range of products including Angel Cream, Angel Soap, Herbal Mixtures, Natural Capsules, Fatwikeke, Men's Formula Tea, and others.

He later joined ABN, where he served first as a driver before transitioning into journalism, eventually becoming one of the recognisable voices associated with Angel 102.9 FM.

He also played a significant role in building and managing the station's Facebook page.

Despite his long service and contributions, Adonko revealed that being overlooked for promotions repeatedly had weighed on him.

That frustration, combined with his sense that a chapter had run its course, ultimately led to his decision to walk away.

In his resignation post, he acknowledged key figures, including Dr Kwaku Oteng, Mr Samuel Kofi Acheampong (known as Bronzy), and sports journalist Mr Saddick Adams (Sports Obama), as well as the broader Angel Group family.
