Former Hearts of Oak board chairman, Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe says FIFA's lifetime ban handed to Mr Kwesi Nyantakyi is unfortunate and claims it is bad for Ghana and Africa football.
FIFA on Tuesday, 30 October 2018 handed a lifetime ban to the former WAFU Zone president following the premiering of the Anas Aremeyaw Anas 'Number 12' documentary that has exposed the rot in Ghana football.
The former FIFA Executive Council Member was found guilty of having violated Article 19 (Conflict of interest), Article 21 (Bribery and Corruption) and Article 22 (Commission) of the FIFA Code of Ethics.
However, the former Ghana Football Association chairman says that the ban was tainted Ghana’s image.
“It’s an unfortunate development, very unfortunate. I personally feel very disturbed about it.
"However, they have sat down as a world football body, went through the whole process and I believe they felt this is the way the decision should be.
“What has happened is very bad for Ghana football in particular and African football in general in the sense that Kwesi Nyantakyi to me is a very hard-working man and he’s been able to reach that high in both CAF and FIFA levels, and for that matter, no Ghanaian got to that level and he had the potential of becoming FIFA boss in future, so, how this came about beats my imagination.”
