The disqualification of George Afriyie, a presidential candidate for the Ghana Football Association, has been a subject of intense scrutiny and debate.
Takyi Arhin, a seasoned football administrator known as "Thunder" in the football community, has strongly defended the decision, asserting that it was a well-founded call.
George Afriyie was disqualified by the GFA Vetting Committee and was subsequently given three days to file an appeal. The outcome of the appeal was announced recently, and it upheld the disqualification.
Arhin commented on the matter, saying, "If you read the verdict it was so watertight it will be very difficult for the Appeals Committee to overturn it. So for some of us it is not a surprise because coming events always cast their own shadows so we are not surprised," he told Peace FM.
He went on to express his perspective on the situation, stating, "If it was left with me about 20 people should contest Kurt so that everybody will see his smoothness level Kojo Yankah, and others couldn't do it"
Arhin also pointed out a specific criterion that George Afriyie did not meet, saying, "Former Vice President of the GFA you wanted just five clubs to endorse you and you go and pick someone who is not a director and a signatory to the club, I think that there is no tears for Ananse," he ended.
