Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a former President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has promised to resist any attempt to overturn the two-term limit for the FA Presidency, which he was the brain behind it.
Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe’s comments come at the time there are speculations making rounds that the Kurt Okraku led administration is forcing to change the Ghana FA statutes, scrapping the two-term limit for its presidents.
Okraku, who contested and was re-elected in 2023 for a second term, would be needed to vacate the position in 2027 under the current precepts.
However, Dr Nyaho, an ex-military doctor cum veteran football administrator in an interview with Graphic Sports harked back to the time he stood to see to it that the position became elective in lieu to the government appointing.
“I won’t allow anyone to tinker with the GFA statute after the sacrifices I made to ensure the position is based on merit through elections,” he said.
“Positions corrupt people in this country, and when you extend the term, the corruption becomes even worse.
“I was the architect of the two-term limit for the FA presidency, and I will not allow anyone to topple the statute to serve their personal agenda,” he stated firmly. “If they try to change the tenure, I’ll fight it with all my strength. It was my recommendation that compelled the FA to adopt this policy,” he added.
