According to Kofi Manu, the action of the football governing body is absurd.

“It’s pride and disrespect for members of the Ghana Football Association that had been exhibited by the Executive Council.

“In Ghana, we know we’ll be voting on December 7 or going to do something that will determine the country’s governance, which King will set that date for a durbar or which church will hold a convention on that same date, ” he told Hello FM

“GFA has a case at CAS and by our regulations, we are bound by the decisions of CAS. We know their decision over this case can make several changes in the administration and governance of our football administration and the way forward.

“So as a reasonable person why should you fixed a congress where stakeholders are going to talk about the forward-looking, and finances of the association.

He indicated that the release of the judgment will affect proceedings during the congress.

“First and foremost, there will be no concentration. There will be anxiety. If the decision comes no matter where it goes there will be jubilation. Would you not district the Congress?

“If you are sensible enough and you are running an association that you respect people who voted for you, will you ever do this?
