Fianoo to contest GHALCA chairmanship

Ashgold CEO, Kudjoe Fianoo, has announced his intention to contest the chairmanship slot of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) when nominations open for elections tentatively scheduled for March this year.

Fianoo told the Daily Graphic yesterday  that for the past  three days  both his office and home had been inundated with people from the football fraternity to contest the slot to help salvage the sunken image of the association.

A former administrative manager of GHALCA during its golden era when the once prestigious Top4 tournament was introduced, Fianoo describes as crying shame the pitiable state the association finds itself which has brought shame to great football stalwarts such as Budu Acquah, Nana Sam Brew Butler, Joseph Ade Coker, Lepowura Alhaji MND Jawula, I.K Edusei and others who blazed the GHALCA trail.

Fianoo argued, “the once enviable reputation of GHALCA has been razed to the ground with accusations of corruption among some members and the time has come to reverse things and return GHALCA to its glory days.

According to him, he has heeded the numerous calls to contest because as a former officer of the association, an obligation has been imposed on him to help restore order and make the association attractive to both the corporate world and the Ghanaian people at large.

The association has been under fire in recent times and not even a successful organisation of the novelty G6 tournament last week could claw back some part of its lost glory.

But things have taken a worse turn after Alhaji Ali Raji’s faux pas. The chairman of GHALCA is alleged to have made a disparaging comment about clubs from the Brong Ahafo region and the association has known no peace since then.
