Board member of Accra Hearts of Oak, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has strongly criticised the decision by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to extend its presidential term limit from two to three terms.
The amendment was approved on Tuesday during the GFA’s 31st Ordinary Congress at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram. Out of 124 delegates present, 114 voted in favour, six opposed, and three abstained.
Speaking on Joy FM, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe described the decision as a “shameful act” and accused the association of manipulating the constitution to serve personal interests.
“What has happened today is a very shameful act by the FA. I’m deeply disturbed because it appears people can toy with a constitution and nothing will be done,” he said.
“These things are done for personal interest, and that is exactly what has happened. Legally, this amendment can be challenged on several grounds,” he added.
The change paves the way for current GFA President Kurt Okraku, who is in his second term, to potentially seek another mandate.
However, Okraku has maintained that it is too early to decide on his future.
“This is premature. We have, at the moment, almost two and a half years to serve the Ghanaian game, and when it comes to that, I will make a decision just like many people who are eligible to make a decision and contest,” he said.
