Kwesi Nyantakyi, President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), must rise above controversies and reproach in football matters following his election as an Executive Council member of Fifa, Jonathan Abbey Pobee, an outspoken football administrator, has counselled.
Mr Nyantakyi, who is also a CAF Executive Committee member, secured one of the two slots available for CAF on the highest decision-making committee at Fifa.
He becomes the first Ghanaian to serve in that position following Thursday’s election in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, on Thursday.
Mr Nyantakyi polled 31 votes, one more than his closest challenger, Ahmad of Madagascar, to win the seat.
Speaking in an interview with Accra Sports on Accra100.5FM on Monday October 3, Mr Pobee said: “If he will listen to our advice, he should know that he is an Executive Committee member of CAF, he is an Executive Committee member of Fifa, and so this is the time he should repent and put aside the old behaviour and turn a new leaf. He needs to be clean, transparent, so that he will not dent the image of Ghana on the international front.”
He emphasised: “Now he must be very careful.”
