Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Chairman Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe says he will oppose any proposal to amend the association’s constitution to extend the presidency limit from two terms to three.
Reports have surfaced recently that the GFA’s Review Committee has suggested this change to the Executive Council, potentially allowing a president to serve for three terms instead of two.
In an interview with Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe expressed his concerns, explaining, “My main reason for saying this is that Graphic [Sports] asked me about a rumour going around that the present leadership of the FA intends to come up with a suggestion that will lead to the extension of the president’s term.”
“I think the FA has a constitution, and the constitution clearly states that the term should be two terms, just like we have in this country now.”
“To me, we have to go by the constitution, and if it is to defend the constitution, I will definitely do that,” he added.
Currently in his fifth year as president, Kurt Okraku faces criticism from prominent figures, including Ghana League Clubs Association Chairman Kudjoe Fianoo, who has recently called for Okraku’s impeachment, citing a decline in the state of Ghanaian football.
