President of New Edubiase, Abdul Salam Yakubu, made a dramatic exit during the 29th Ordinary Congress of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) following a speech by GFA President Kurt Okraku.
The incident occurred amidst a heated exchange between the two football figures, with Abdul Salam expressing his dissatisfaction with the content of Okraku's address.
Abdul Salam Yakubu, a seasoned figure in Ghanaian football, criticized Okraku's speech for being overly political and lacking relevance to the purpose of the Congress.
In particular, he objected to the GFA president's decision to discuss matters unrelated to the gathering.
“He is doing politics. If people have stolen documents, are you supposed to reveal them at the Congress Ground?
“I have been in football for a long time and have attended several congresses; that is not how we conduct it. He was there, jabbing people. Is that how to show leadership qualities?
“If you are doing something, you allow people to speak for you. He was just repeating his speech.
“So, I will never waste my time and sit in on such a congress. Only the jobless will sit for this congress.”
