New Edubiase United President Yakubu Abdul Salam, Chairman of the Ghana FA U-19 Elite Championship Management Committee, has quit his post in protest, GHANASoccernet.com can exclusively report.
His resignation comes after the controversial decision to extend the Ghana Football Association president’s term from two to three, a move that has divided opinions in the country.
He sent his exit letter to the local football governing body on Monday after going publicly to criticize the decision taken by Congress.
At its 31st Ordinary Session of Congress, held last week at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram, 114 out of the 124 members present overwhelming voted in favour of the change.
Abdul Salam had previously said: ''I’m against the proposal for a third term because eight years is sufficient for every president to contribute to our football. I will tell Kurt Okraku just to finish his second term and leave.
''Is it not so obvious that football fans, journalists, politicians, and the general public are all not in support of the proposed GFA three-term proposal? The system isn’t exclusive to ‘football people.''
