Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Chairman Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has urged the current administration to reflect on the downfall of Kwesi Nyantakyi as it considers amending the GFA statutes.
His comments come amid a proposal to extend the GFA presidential limit from two to three terms, a change that could allow current president Kurt Okraku to seek a third term when his current tenure ends in 2027.
The proposal is expected to be on the agenda when Congress convenes on August 12.
“I warn that history has repeated itself in several instances in this country, and we don't seem to take note of that,” Tamakloe told Joy Sports.
“If we are not careful, this can create a big problem, because citing the downfall of the former GFA boss, Kwesi Nyantakyi, my very good friend, I attribute it as this particular thing he himself wanted to do would have an impact on his downfall.
"Now, to me, anyone who wants to stay in power perpetually, especially by twisting the constitution to suit their interests, is a danger to the organization and the society.”
Nyantakyi had served two terms before the GFA amended its constitution to allow him a third. But three years into that term, the Number 12 exposé by journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas was released in 2018, triggering Nyantakyi’s resignation and a subsequent FIFA ban.
