Former Division One League Board Chairman Kwame Ntow Fianko has told Ghana Football Association president, Kwesi Nyantakyi not to contest the FA presidency again.

Nyantakyi some months back hinted he might not stand for re-election when his tenure come to an end.

Fiako is calling on Nyantakyi who doubles as the 1st Vice President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to step aside for someone else to continue.

“Kwesi has done enough; he took Ghana to the world cup for the first time, he gave GFA an air-conditioned bus for the first time, he has achieved a lot as FA president. But he is a human and can go wrong. So I don’t see the reason why some people are saying he should contest again. If he asked me I will tell him there’s no need to come back," He told Onua FM.

Fianko added, “In the FA presidency, the person who had the highest number of time in office aside Kwesi was Mr. H. P. Nyametei (1960–66) even Ohene Djan spent three years and Nana Fredua Mensah (1966–70). So Nyantakyi has had the highest number of years and he has also had landmark achievement. He completed the FA building from a FIFA fund."

Nyantakyi has held several international positions in football. His appointments cut across sub regional, regional to the international state.

These include President of West African Football Union Zone B, Football organizer at the 2012 London Olympics, Member of FIFA Associations Committee, Member of the FIFA Council and Vice President of the Confederation of African Football.
