Ghana FA Vice Prez George Afriyie hints at leaving his post

Published on: 29 August 2016

Ghana Football Association vice president George Afriyie is getting fed up with recent reportage of rift between himself and his boss Kwasi Nyantakyi.

According to him, he could step down from his current position following perceived mistrust amongst members in the association.

“It is just that if you understand the football politics; a lot of gossips, a lot of hearsay, a lot of accusing fingers. I have gone through all that for so many years but seriously, maybe at the right time when I am off the scene, people will realise that there was one man who dedicated himself for the course (of Ghana football)," the Liberty Professionals Chairman said in an interview with Luv FM.

On whether he is considering leaving his position, he added that "Yes of course, why not. When the time comes, it will be public. I am saying that, trust me, it is going to happen when the times comes. Seriously, it doesn't worth it.

"Following football now personally, as George Afriyie, it doesn't really worth it," he stated. "Of course, if you're not appreciated for all the years and the sacrifices that you've done, why would you worry yourself to continue? He quizzed.

"Let me be very honest, some of us before we came into football, were not poor. We had struggle to make lives for ourselves. We were well to do; I didn't come into football begging and so for me, I will not sit there for anybody, for anybody to doubt my integrity and honesty. I will not, never! I will not trade that for anything." He said with a disappointing and emotional tone."

George Afriyie was appointed by Kwesi Nyantakyi as vice president of the FA after last year's elections.
