Colonialists mentality still exists, what did the GFA and others do about the 2017 AFCON voting saga. Nothing. Issa Hayatou must fall.

Hayatou and many of those around him are among the most corrupt and dishonest officials in Africa. There has to be a way to prosecute them for their corrupt practices.

What is Nyantakyi waiting for?He must resign before the unexpected happens.

Nyantakyi is worser and corrupted than Sepp Blatter and he needed to be fully investigated by the BNI and The National Security .

Yes FIFA was/is a hindrance. They still have the 'no government interference' policy to get their corrupt activities go undetected.

Kwesi Nyantakyi Wild
Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kwesi Nyantakyi has accused the United States government of clandestine moves to destroy the image of FIFA.

The GFA boss said on Tuesday evening that the arrest of some FIFA officials in Zurich, for instance, was an attempt to paint the institution as a corrupt one.

"Why would they (U.S. security officials) arrest these people most of whom travelled to Switzerland through the United States? It was intended to create a certain effect. They [United States] wanted to highlight FIFA as a corrupt institution [and] FIFA officials, including all of us, as corrupt people and get world attention...which they succeeded", Mr Nyantakyi said.

According to him, the timing of the arrests of the FIFA officials in Switzerland was timed to the eve of the FIFA congress that elected Sepp Blatter for a fifth term as President of the football governing body.

"The U.S. security agencies including the justice department and the American security system had all these information [on bribery and corruption] several months before the FIFA congress and they could have picked them in America because they travelled through the United States, and they alone know why they didn't arrest them", he said.

Nyantakyi was sharing his thoughts on Sepp Blatter's resignation on Metro TV's Good Evening Ghana host Paul Adom Otchere.

Real shock

Nyantakyi said Blatter's sudden decision to leave office came as a shock to him.

"His decision really came as a big surprise to me. I'm yet to contact any of the executive members. But I was really surprised when I heard the news,” Nyantakyi said.

“Just days after his election he decides to quit and I'm still wondering what would have caused him to take such decision.”

GFA Spokesperson, Ibrahim Saani Daara, however believes Ghana and Africa football will most likely suffer with Blatter’s exit.

"If Platini is to be the next president of FIFA I will say Africa will suffer. All his rules in EUFA has been against Africa", he said.

Blatter is resigning just four days into his new tenure. He made the declaration at a surprise press conference on Tuesday.

“I have been reflecting deeply about my presidency and about the forty years in which my life has been inextricably bound to FIFA and the great sport of football. I cherish FIFA more than anything and I want to do only what is best for FIFA and for football.

“FIFA needs profound restructuring,” he said in a statement.

Sepp Blatter’s administration has been faced with several allegations of corruption in recent years.

The world governing body FIFA was rocked by charges of racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering as part of investigations by US federal prosecutors that also indicted 14 people.

Kwesi Nyantakyi Pink
Footy-ghana.com has gathered that former Premier League champions Berekum Chelsea owes the Ghana Football Association over $220,000 in transfer percentages due the Association.

According to our sources, the money represents percentages of transfer fees realized from the sale of players like Emmanuel Osei Banahene, Gladson Awako, Emmanuel Clottey, Richard Kissi Boateng, Solomon Asante, Ernest Sowah and Obed Owusu amongst others.

Footy-ghana.com has also learnt that the club’s Chief Executive, Obed Nana Kwame Nketiah, is in debt to the tune of over $30,000 from loans he contracted to keep the club afloat.

The club has been tethering on the edge since the departure of club owner Emmanuel Kyeremeh from the country 18 months ago, with the current situation resulting in the resignations of Operations Manager, Nana Oduro Sarfo and head coach Tony Lokko.

African politicians are such high level criminals we need to begin to investigate how they all came by their wealth starting from Rawlings, then Kuffuor, then Mahama. We need not spare anyone, no not even Nyantakyi who is not a politician. Mahama is now worth $900,000,000. What is the nature of his business. These people are worse than armed robbers because they are sending most Ghanaians to an early grave by depriving them a slice of the national opportunity at having a better life for themselves and their children.
Go get them now.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do these fools really think this witch-hunt is about corruption? We heard the same stories about how Gaddaffi was a bad man and he needed to be removed. This man is ignorant not to understand what is going on in the world.
