Chief of Oguaa the Traditional Area, Osabarima Kwesi Atta II (R)
The paramount Chief of Oguaa Traditional Area, Osabarima Kwesi Atta II, has summoned residents of Cape Coast home and abroad to a crisis meeting scheduled for June 1, 2013.
The crisis meeting, which will be held at the Ato Austin Gardens, comes in the wake of canvassing support to revamp its ancient traditional football club, ‘Venomous Vipers.’
Venomous Vipers were relegated from Ghana’s Glo Premier League many years back and were now struggling for survival with teams in the division two due to financial and material constraints which has caused the club to collapse.
The gathering will also be used to outdoor new board members and other management officials to steer the affairs of Vipers.
In a release issued by Osabarima, who doubles as the Chief patron for the club, he expressed worry over how a club with a credible history from Gold Coast through to independence has suffered to the extent that they have be relegated to division two.
According to him, selfless dedication, financial and material constraints have resulted in the struggle for the team to gain its glory - a situation which has led him to summon all residents and natives from Cape Coast to come to the aid of Vipers.
Osabarima, however, lauded the Interim Management Committee (IMC) for standing behind the club even in times that they faced difficulties and urged them to continue soliciting for little funds to sustain the club.
“We cannot fail and we need not fail. We need to do all that we can to bring back Vipers to its glory” Osabarima stated.
He was optimistic that when Vipers were given the needed financial backing, the club would bounce back to compete with the bigger teams in the premiership.
