“The League is manipulated, But if say it you are being tagged as opposition. When he proposed an autonomous league. We said it should be Semi. 5 years on in his reign where is the autonomous now? league
The league is a manipulated league. It is a completely tainted league” He said.
His accusations revolve around what he perceives as an increasing lack of transparency and accountability within the GFA’s administration of the GPL.
