How Jeffrey Asare caused George Afriyie’s disqualification from GFA presidential elections

On George Afriyie’s nomination form, he indicated that the fifth GFA member supporting him was Victory Club Warriors FC, and the name and designation of the authorized officer of the supporting GFA member was stated as Jeffrey Asare, Director of Victory Club Warriors FC.

However, the records of Victory Club Warriors FC from the Office of the Registrar of Companies revealed that the only directors of Victory Club Warriors Ltd are Leslie Kuku Bartels and Angela Effah with Angela Effah as secretary.

The Committee also confirmed from the records submitted to the GFA by Victory Club Warriors FC that Jeffrey Asare was neither listed as an authorised signatory for the Club, nor was he registered on the FIFA Connect System as a Club official at the time of the signing of the Nomination Form, the vetting and decision-making by the Election Committee.

Subsequently, the Committee enquired via a recorded WhatsApp video call from the owner of Victory Club Warriors FC (the sole shareholder and director of the Victory Club Warriors Ltd.), Leslie Kuku Bartels, whether Jeffrey Asare was an authorised signatory for the club or a Director of the Company.

Leslie Kuku Bartels confirmed that Jeffrey Asare was neither an authorised signatory for the Club nor a director of the company.

Furthermore, Jeffrey Asare confirmed through a recorded WhatsApp video call that he was not a Director of Victory Club Warriors Ltd, as stated George Afriyie’s nomination form, and stated in a statutory declaration sworn on 8th August 2023.

Consequently, the Committee, therefore, came to the conclusion that Jeffrey Asare who was listed as the authorised signatory of your fifth supporting Ghana FA member and as a director of Victory Club Warriors Ltd, was not a director nor an authorised signatory of the supporting member in accordance with Article 13(2)(j) of the Ghana FA Statutes, 2019.
