Accra Hearts of Oak board member, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has strongly criticised the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) decision to extend the presidential term limit from two to three terms.
At its 31st Ordinary Congress on Tuesday, the GFA approved an amendment to its statutes, increasing the maximum tenure for the presidency. Of the 124 members present, 114 voted in favour, three abstained, and six opposed the motion.
Speaking on Joy FM, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe condemned the decision and suggested he might pursue legal action.
“What has happened today is a very shameful act by the FA. I’m deeply disturbed because it appears people can toy with a constitution and nothing will be done.
These things are done for personal interest, and that is exactly what has happened. Legally, this amendment can be challenged on several grounds,” he said.
GFA President Kurt Okraku is yet to reveal whether he will seek a third term following Congress’s approval of the amendment.
