Nduom urges drastic overhaul of GFA after Kotoko fan’s death
By Lukman MUMIN, Accra
Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, a three-time Ghanaian presidential candidate for the Progressive Peoples Party, has called for the overhauling of the Football Association.
The politician and astute businessman believes the handlers of Ghana football are only there for their selfish interests and not the betterment of the game.
On Sunday, a football fan lost his life after a heated moment in the Ghana Premier League game between Asante Kotoko and Nsoatreman FC.
The Ghana Football Association immediately suspended matchday 20 games in the league and charged some players and officials for their involvement in the melee.
However, Dr Nduom insists drastic action needs to be taken, blaming the FA for the chaos in Ghana football.
“The GFA needs a serious overhaul,” Ndoum, who is the founder of the People’s Progressive Party [PPP] shared in a post on Facebook.
“A few people at the top feed on FIFA money and leave the clubs, referees and players hungry.
“What are we waiting for? More deaths, bankruptcies and Black Stars losses?” he quizzed.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service have begun investigations into the unfortunate passing of the football fan. Three persons, including the former Member of Parliament for Sunyani West, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah taken to custody taken to custody for investigations.
