Former Brong Ahafo Regional Football Association (RFA) Chairman, Ralph Gyambrah, has refuted claims that clubs are behind a proposal to extend the presidential term limit of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
His comments come in response to statements by GFA General Secretary, Prosper Harrison Addo, who, speaking on Asempa FM, said the proposal to increase the limit from two to three terms came from clubs, the Referees Association of Ghana (RAG), and other Congress members.
The matter is expected to be discussed at the GFA’s 31st Ordinary Congress, scheduled to take place at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram.
Gyambrah, a former Executive Council member, insists that no club has supported such a move.
“Clubs never proposed an extension of the term of office for the president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA),” he told Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show.
“It is about this extension of tenure of office that brought about the Anas exposé. I believe that even if we will consider the extension of the tenure of office for the president, it should not be now.
“Even the constitution governing our country allows the president only two terms in office, so I believe clubs and civil societies must wake up to ensure that this extension of tenure of office does not see the light of day,” he added.
Several leading football figures — including Kudjoe Fianoo, George Afriyie, Alhaji Grusah, Samuel Anim Addo, and Elony Amande — have already voiced opposition to the proposed amendment.
The Ordinary Congress is set for Tuesday, August 12.
