The President of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC), Mr Ben Nunoo Mensah, has entreated members of the Ghana Football Association to elect a selfless leader to replace Mr Kwesi Nyantakyi when his term expires in 2019.
Names of potential candidates who are likely to succeed Nyantakyi include the GFA Vice President, George Afriyie, MTN FA Cup Chairman, Kurt Okraku, two former GFA vice-presidents, Fred Crenstil and Fred Pappoe, GHALCA chairman, Kudjoe Fianoo, as well as the President of Phar Rangers, Nana Yaw Amponsah.
Touching on who among them will be most suitable for the position on Happy FM, Mr Mensah said: “I don’t vote in the GFA elections so I can’t say who is suitable or not but from my experience at the GOC I think that they should get someone who people want to work with."
The soft-spoken capo, who also doubles as President of the Ghana Weightlifting Federation was then asked if he has any interest in contesting for the position, he answered, “I have grown beyond the FA. I am focusing on the bigger picture. I am working for all the federations and disciplines now, including football, so I don’t have plans to go for it."
Nyantakyi, a FIFA Council member and CAF 1st Vice-President has hinted that he will call time on his 14-year tenure at the helm of the local football governing body in 2019.
