Abra-Appiah call it quits as PLB Boss

The longest-serving chairman of the Premier League Board (PLB), Mr Welbeck Yaw Abra-Appiah, has decided to drop his tools at the end of the season after a 10-year illustrous reign at the helm of Ghana’s top-flight league.

Breaking the sweet-sour news to the Graphic Sports in an interview, Mr Abra-Appiah said he had paid his dues to Ghana Football and that it was time to bow out and hand over the baton to the younger generation to continue.

The retired Bank Manager, football administrator and businessman believes after chalking many successes in the Premier League under his watch, there cannot be a better time to call it a day than now when the cheers are loudest.
 
His rich experience compelled Mr Kwesi Nyantakyi to appoint him as the Premiership boss when he was first elected the FA president in 2005.

He has since been at post till his sudden decision to call it quits.

He told this paper that his decision to quit is to enable him to concentrate more on serving God, as well as having more time for his business, family, and other personal commitments.

Mr Abra-Appiah threatened to quit his position two seasons ago but was impressed upon to rescind his decision by the Ghana Football Association’s top hierarchy.

Before assuming the PLB chairmanship, he served as a mainstream club administrator for Okwawu United United when the ‘Yente Gyae’ boys took Ghana Football by storm in the 1980s.
