The former President of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA), a member
of the immediate past Dr Kofi Kodua Sarpong administration could be
elevated to the top position following a meeting at Manhyia last
Saturday.
A credible source close to Manhyia told GNA Sports
the owner of the club, Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II hinted at

Porcupine Warriors have been without a Board chair since Dr. Sarpong
tendered his resignation about a month ago to the Life Patron, a
development which has shaken the foundation of the club.
The
source said some of the members expected to retain their roles in the
new board are Jerry Asare and Alhaji Abu Lamine who have already been
tasked to assist Samuel Opoku Nti and his team in the club’s recruitment
drive.
According to the source, the Asantehene assured the
players of the resettling all outstanding enticement fees while making a
pledge to make funds available for four of the seven targeted players.
The
source said the club’s quest to add up to the squad that won the
2012/2013 Premiership to become the only Ghanaian club to have annexed
it 22 times has received major the backing of the King.
The
Porcupine Warriors have set their sight on Jordan Opoku, Stephen Oduro
and among others to strengthen up for the season ahead which includes a
spell in the Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) Champions League
competition.
