Former Sports Minister Nii Lante Vanderpuye has declared his intention to "sanitize" football, devoid of corruption if reappointed in 2025.
Vanderpuye, who previously served as Member of Parliament for Odododiodio, expressed frustration with the current state of the sport, citing corruption and mismanagement as major challenges facing the football landscape.
“If I get the opportunity to become Sports Minister in 2025, I will sanitize football,” he said in an interview with JoySports.
"I am not happy with what is going on. There are so many things wrong with our football and unless we take bold steps to sanitize the system and take decisions that will inure to the benefit of the people who are doing football and the footballers and not business-men, football will not grow."
