Former GFA President Kwesi Nyantakyi says he bears no personal resentment over the scandal that ended his football administration career in 2018, stressing that he has moved on.
Nyantakyi stepped down in June 2018 after the release of Number 12, an investigative documentary by journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, which exposed alleged corruption in Ghanaian football.
In an interview on Joy News on Tuesday, January 6, Nyantakyi said the events surrounding his exit no longer affect him.
“I am not hurt by anything like that. Life goes on. There are many opportunities in life for every individual,” he said.
The documentary showed Nyantakyi receiving $65,000 from an undercover reporter and claiming he could leverage political connections to advance business interests.
The revelations triggered widespread public backlash and led to his resignation from the GFA, CAF and FIFA.
FIFA later banned him for life in October 2018, a decision that was subsequently reduced to a 15-year suspension.
