Here are five major ‘exposé’ from Kwesi Nyantakyi’s interview

Kwesi Nyantakyi, the former president of the Ghana Football Association, has gained attention once more after his interview with Onua TV on Tuesday, April 2, 2024.

In what can only be called a bombshell interview, Nyantakyi made a number of admissions and accusations that set off a lot of conversations.

Five claims and disclosures stood out from the others and generated a lot of discussion among the many others.

Five key remarks made by Kwesi Nyantakyi during his interview are examined by GhanaWeb.

1. Admitting to paying a $100,000 bribe to kill number 12 documentary

According to Kwesi Nyantakyi, he bribed Anas Aremeyaw Anas $100,000 to stop the investigative journalist from showing his segment from the Number 12 documentary.

He described in full the purported discussions and exchanges that took place prior to the interview being broadcast.

He made reference to a few well-known individuals who were both aware of the circumstances and part of the plans that resulted in his purported $100,000 payment to Anas.

He said that after appearing in the 2018 documentary, he received a refund.

“Before the video was released, a former colleague at the GFA Exco, Adam Munkaila, took me to Anas’ lawyer. I met him at his residence around Westland and he told me Anas was his student and had informed him he needed $150,000 to kill the story.

“I gave them $100,000, but they told me the amount was inadequate and later went ahead to release the video,” Nyantakyi said in an interview with Captain Smart on Onua TV on Tuesday morning.

“After the video came out, I asked for a refund and even the refund was done in instalments. Today, they would bring $20,000, and the next day another $10,000. They were giving me stories, but eventually I got everything back,” he said.

Becoming a Minister of Sports

The former vice president of CAF stated that he would be willing to seize the chance to join the New Patriotic Party administration as a sports minister.

He said that while it is feasible to become a sports minister under a New Patriot Party (NPP) government, it is unlikely to happen in a National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.

“If NPP comes and they make me a sports minister, I may consider it but if the NDC comes and they consider me, it will be difficult.”

After making the move into politics, Nyantakyi will run for the NPP’s Ejisu Constituency parliamentary seat.

Relationship with George Afriyie

The former president of the GFA talked about his friendship with George Afriyie, his former vice president.

He made it clear that while he and the previous CEO of Liberty Professionals do not have a terrible relationship, the former is not his buddy.

He admitted, “I have no problems with George Afriyie.”

“If someone offends me, I don’t keep it in me; and I’ve let go of everything but I will not call him. He’s not my friend that I call for us to sit somewhere or go to the bush canteen to eat fufu,” said Nyantakyi.

Apology to Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo-Addo

Nyantakyi expressed regret to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for using their names in the documentary.

“I acknowledge that my reference to President Akufo-Addo and his Vice, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, during that episode was incorrect. He apologized and hoped they would pardon him.

Ghana football has declined

Kwesi Nyantakyi expressed his opinions about Ghanaian football throughout the interview, perhaps suggesting that he was the unifying factor in the sport.

Football in the nation, according to Nyantakyi, has drastically declined since he left government in 2018.

“Ghana football has declined since I left. Since 2019, we have consistently exited tournaments in the first round or even during the group stage. So, if you plot it on a graph, you’d see a sharp decline.”
