Stop the flimsy excuses – Takyi Arhin tells Kennedy Agyapong

Outspoken football administrator, Takyi Arhin ‘Thunder’ has taken a swipe at the Member of Parliament for Assin Central Constituency, Kennedy Agyapong after the latter claimed he will not invest in football because delegates failed to elect his candidate George Afriyie.

The business mogul recently indicated that he will no longer invest in football as he promised some years ago since delegates and club officials failed to elect George Afriyie as the President of the Ghana Football Association.

Dreams FC owner, Kurt Okraku defeated George Afriyie who served at the Vice President of the association under the embattled Kwesi Nyantakyi to win the presidential spot during the October 25, 2019 elections held in Accra.

Kennedy Agyapong had earlier gone on record and pledged to invest in football at George Afriyie's birthday party two years ago but has said he will no longer invest in football because his candidate lost the elections.

But Takyi Arhin in an interview indicated that he (Kennedy) is not ready to do football as he strongly believes he is just making flimsy excuses in that regard.

“He is not ready to do football. George Afriyie is a football administrator but not the FA president so if George did not win to become the FA president, does it mean we should not do football in the country? He queried.

“I also heard him lambasting the media, if I should ask, who is the owner of Net2? Is he not the owner but if he sits on shows what does he says. Has he given any media house money to promote local football? He quizzed.
