Social media users have shared divergent views on Kwesi Nyantakyi's recent clarion call for football progress in Ghana.
The former President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) speaking on GTV Sports+ urged Ghanaians to show their unwavering support to the newly appointed Black Stars technical team ahead of the 2022 World Cup qualifier play-off against Nigeria.
He also said the Association and government need to work hand-in-hand if the GFA are to function effectively and efficiently.
Some social media users welcomed his comments stating that his 13 years of experience in the football world must be tapped.
Mr Nyantakyi was the GFA President from December 30, 2005, until June 7, 2018.
Kwesi Nyantakyi know football chale!

Kwesi Nyantakyi will never be forgotten as football is concerned 🔥🔥🔥🔥

However, others believe his advice is irrelevant as he, Mr Nyantakyi, could have ensured the success of the Black Stars and the GFA when he was at the helm of affairs but did not.
This Country called Ghana errrr,give someone a position and he will act as if he is a kid,but remove the person from his/her post and see the kind of ideas he will pour out... If Kwesi Nyantakyi knew all this aaaa why didn't he act wen he was on post🙄

I think everything Kwesi Nyantakyi said that you agree with just remember he could’ve done it and he didn’t. I’m glad he’s shown us he wasn’t incompetent he was just selfish and greedy and chose himself over Ghana football. Next time I see him on TV he should be apologizing

Kwesi Nyantakyi shouldn't be the one to tell us what to do as a country. He had the chance and glorified himself and stole money for football. Where were his ideas when he was there? Serial thief he is

Kwesi Nyantakyi had over a decade to implement all the supposed “lofty ideas” he is proposing now. Spare us the desperate whitewashing na it won’t work. A decorated monkey is always a monkey.

Kwesi Nyantakyi was captured in the Anas Aremeyaw Anas Number 12 exposé, allegedly collecting cash gifts and peddling influence.
He resigned as GFA President following the exposé and lost his positions as FIFA Council Member and first Vice President of CAF.
