A 6-1 lost to WAFA in their week 12 encounter at Sogakope precipitated a fracas between the club's supporters and the management.
The chairman in an interview with Kumasi-based Fox FM said that he could not remain in the club following the supporters’ attitude towards him.
"I thank everyone at Ashgold for the opportunity to lead the club," he said.
"The fans should take their club now.I cannot continue to be president anymore and yesterday what the fans did, I say enough is enough."
The man popularly known as ‘Champion’ took office at the Obuase-based club in February 2018.

The team has recorded just a goal in their last 3 outings in the 2019/20 Premier League
