Owner and bankroller of New Edubiase United, Abdul Salam beleives the Executive Council members and the president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) must be voted out.
According to him, this is needed due to the slump of the various national teams in international competitions in recent times, coupled with the poor standard of the local leagues, which is enough testimony of the failure of the Kurt Okraku administration.
“In my opinion, our industry is coming down and our football is not developing, so I think we need a change. At the Executive Committee, we need a change because it’s been four years now and our football is not developing," he told Graphic Sports.
“Our football is coming down, especially the national teams and the qualities of the Premier League and the Division One League are all coming down. Maybe if we can have some competent hands managing it, we can restore the lost glory,” he said.
He also argued that the Kurt Okraku-led administration has not introduced anything positive to transform the fortunes of the game; hence, allowing them to continue could spell doom for the game.
The outspoken Yakubu said because the league was without sponsorship, the only way for clubs to raise revenue was through the export of talents, adding that the ability to sell players hinged primarily on the performance of the national teams.
“We need a change in both the presidency and some of the executives because, in the last four years, they have not added anything positive to the game. Everything is declining.
“My worry is that I’m doing football and we don’t even have good sponsorship. If I’m not making money, these are some of the players I have to sell and make money to take care of my club, but if the national teams are not performing, nobody will buy a player from Edubiase or any team,” he bemoaned.
