However, according to Mr. Afriyie, the Wa All Stars bankroller is attentive of the consequences he will face if he rescinds his decision and contest for the elections in 2019.

"I will repeat this statement again because I have said it on GTV," he told Kumasi based Nhyira FM.

"Kwesi Nyantakyi is the president of the Ghana Football Association, the 1st vice president of CAF and also FIFA Executive Council Member."

"He [Kwesi Nyantakyi] has granted an interview with Graphic Sports, Joy FM and Vision One FM all on three different occasions and he insisted that he will not seek for re-elections in 2019."

"What I want everybody to understand is that those were Kwesi Nyantakyi's words but if he rescinds his decision tomorrow and comes back and seek for re-election, what I want people to understand is that he knows the consequences he will face when he rescind his decision and seeks for re-election," he added.
