Ghanaian preacher and founder of Alabaster International Ministries, Prophet Dr Kofi Oduro has openly declared his participation in the February 14 demonstration against the Ghana Football Association (GFA), the National Sports Authority and the Sports Ministry.
" Me! I am part of that demonstration against GFA," the preacher said.
The ‘Fix Ghana Football’ demonstration protest is aimed at holding the GFA, National Sports Authority, and Ministry of Youth and Sports accountable for the revitalization of Ghanaian football.
In a tweet featuring a video, outspoken sports journalist and lead convener of the Fix Ghana Football demonstration, Saddick Adams, expressed gratitude towards the founder of Alabaster Ministries.
The Alabaster Ministries founder is heard lamenting the declining state of Ghanaian football and criticising the attitude and commitment of some Ghanaian players. He went on to accuse some players of disrespect for their coaches and disregard for the 'weight' of the jersey.
"Look at how the Black Stars went to play. Players don jerseys, and they act as if they are wearing police uniforms, army uniforms, customs navy or fire service uniforms. It is like that. You are wearing the image of the whole nation. The Black Stars jersey is sold to people; the person does not even understand the soul of the nation.
He comes on the pitch and acts like he is doing us a favour. Where are the days where people played Black Stars for free because we were rather doing them a favour? Patriotism, where are the days? I mean, now players gift coaches something small for their pockets and as a result, they don't even respect them," he fumed.
However, Prophet Oduro believes that, all these "madness' wouldn't have played Ghana football and left it in its current sorry state.
"You substitute a player and he starts waving off his hands. Are you the only player? Come to Ghana and see the players. Go to Police Depot Park, Alajo, Ashaiman, and others. But if not for the madness of GFA, all these things wouldn't have happened," he added.
The protesters have outlined some proposals that seek new structural reforms in Ghana’s football, such as the abolishment of the management committees, accountability from sponsorships, and better organisation of football.
They have secured permission from the Ghana Police Service to embark on the protest on Valentine’s Day.
