Former President of the Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi, has publicly apologized to President Akufo-Addo for implicating him in the Anas exposé.
In an exclusive interview with Onua TV, Nyantakyi admitted that he overstepped his bounds during his interaction with the purported Arabian investors.
"I admit I was wrong to mention the President and his vice in that incident. I am sorry, and I hope they forgive me," Nyantakyi expressed remorsefully.
The infamous "Number 12" investigative report, conducted by Anas Aremeyaw Anas in 2018, led to Nyantakyi's forced removal from office by FIFA and CAF. The exposé exposed rampant corruption within Ghanaian football circles, featuring Nyantakyi in discussions with potential investors about matters beyond football.
During these discussions, Nyantakyi advised the investors to provide financial inducements to the President, his vice, and some cabinet ministers to facilitate business ventures in Ghana.
Reflecting on his actions, Nyantakyi acknowledged that he had spoken beyond necessity and sought forgiveness from all affected parties, including the mentioned ministers.
"When I met the so-called Sheikh Al-Thani, I suggested to him that he needed to provide funds to the President and his vice. I was wrong at the time, and I should not have said that. I regret those comments, and I hope all, including the ministers I mentioned, can forgive me," Nyantakyi expressed contrition.
Currently, Nyantakyi is vying for the parliamentary seat in Ejisu under the New Patriotic Party, seeking to turn a new leaf in his political career.
