Bonsu says will no longer contest GFA chairmanship

An ex aspirant of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) chairman, Michael Mensa-Bonsu, alias Kojo Bonsu, says he would no longer contest for the position.

“Maybe later in life when all other goals have been met, I may reconsider the idea of running for the FA position,” he stated in an interview with the Times in Accra on Monday.

He said his previous attempts to secure the FA seat at middle-age, to manage Ghana football from that level was because he felt it was the best thing that could have happened to the sport.

Although greatly disappointed for missing out on the nomination by the government, he still has no regrets.

“I will continue to contribute from my quiet corner for the promotion and development of the game either locally or internationally, he said.

Earlier this year, Bonsu, found himself in an embarrassing situation when, in his bid to offer himself for the FA post, bought a return air ticket at his own expense to travel alongside the jailed ex-Minister of Youth and Sports, Mallam Ali Yusuf Isa to Sudan, in a trip that culminated in the ex-Minister losing $46,000 dollars belonging to the state.
