  Very soon Ghana's Constitution will be subjected to a referendum for a Mahama third term bid.Very dangerous precedents. Okraku attempting similar move inspite very dubious achievements as President.

  Good morning,Saanie.
  Once upon a time in Ghanaian football journalism, there stood a man who was the very embodiment of accountability, fearless critique, and principled journalism. That man was Ibrahim Sannie Daara.
  
  He wasn’t just another journalist on the beat he was the standard, the torchbearer, the voice that struck fear into the hearts of any football administrator who veered off course. Sannie Daara didn’t mince words. He asked the hard questions. He held the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to account. He stood tall not just as a media man, but as the conscience of the game.
  
  But what has changed?
  
  Today, that same Sannie Daara appears to be the one making excuses for a GFA administration that is gasping under the weight of its own unfulfilled promises. The same man who once demanded accountability now seems content with silence or worse, open endorsement without scrutiny.
  
  This is not just sad. It’s a tragedy.
  Even the Presidency Has Term Limits
  We live in a constitutional democracy. Even the presidency of Ghana the highest office in the land has a two term limit. Why? Because power must be renewed through performance, not through loyalty or sentiment.
  
  Yet here we are, watching as Sannie Daara, once a fearless advocate for accountability, now appears to be handing the GFA a blank cheque for a fourth term. Not just a second. Not a third. But a fourth. And for what?
  
  Ask any ordinary Ghanaian football fan, and they will tell you plainly: What has improved?
  
  When was the last time Ghana won a major trophy?
  Answer: 2009 Under-20 World Cup. That's over 15 years ago.
  
  What is the state of our national teams?
  Struggling. Inconsistent. Spiritless.
  
  Grassroots football?
  Dormant. Abandoned.
  
  Ghana Premier League?
  Suffering from poor attendance, limited sponsorship, and no visible marketing direction.
  
  Coaches and technical staff?
  Many have grievances buried under fear and gag orders.
  
  
  And yet, Sannie Daara a man we once believed would die on the hill of integrity now appears to champion a system he once condemned.
  
  So, What Changed?
  
  This is not a witch hunt. This is a cry of disappointment. We ask, with genuine pain: What changed, Sannie?
  
  You taught us to demand transparency.
  You taught us to hold administrators accountable.
  You reminded us that journalism is the fourth estate of the realm, and that silence in the face of mismanagement is complicity.
  
  And yet today, you leave the gates open. Wide. Unguarded. Who then will put the GFA in check if the very men who built their name on scrutiny have now switched sides?
  
  The Cost of Silence
  
  This isn't about politics. It's about Ghanaian football. It’s about millions of young talents whose dreams are choked because structures don't work. It’s about fans who have lost faith. It's about coaches who can’t speak freely. It's about a generation that is growing up without the pride of Black Star dominance.
  
  Sannie, your voice once moved nations. Today, its silence is deafening.
  
  We’re not asking for war. We’re asking for balance. If an administration seeks a fourth term, the least we can demand is a comprehensive, transparent scorecard. The bare minimum is accountability.
  
  You owe it to the public. You owe it to your legacy.
  
  A Final Appeal
  
  We still hold on to hope that Ibrahim Sannie Daara will remember the weight of his voice and the power of his platform. That he will choose again to stand with truth, even if it costs him convenience. That he will understand this: you do not grow a tree and uproot its roots for friendship.
  
  Let the record show we are sad, deeply sad, not because we hate, but because we once believed.
  
  And that belief feels betrayed.
