Former Vice-President of the Ghana Football Association, George Afriyie, has vowed to petition the government should current president Kurt Okraku seek a third term in office.
Kurt is reportedly hoping to amend the statutes of the country's governing body when his second term elapses in 2027 to seek for another opportunity at the helm.
The 54-year-old faced no competition for the position in the 2023 election after aspirant Afriyie was disqualified by the Election Committee, a decision upheld by the Appeals Committee.
"You've won, you are ruling, you are the President of the FA, things are not going on well, that is not my fault,” George said in an exclusive interview with Asempa FM.
"I really want to help him [Kurt] succeed. I am more than prepared for him to finish his term but he should forget about the proposed amendments of our statutes to go [for] a third term.
"The biggest spender of the GFA is the government of Ghana. I will personally write a petition to the government of Ghana. The government has a say."
Kurt took over the reins of power in 2019 from the Normalisation Committee after Kwesi Nyantakyi was turfed out following Anas Aremeyaw Anas investigative piece on alleged corruption.
His administration has seen massive scrutiny following the performances of national teams including the Black Stars who suffered group stage exits from the last two Africa Cup of Nations and failure to qualify for next year’s edition in Morocco - first time in 20 years.
