Nyaho-Tamakloe opposes move to extend Ghana FA presidential term limits

Former Ghana Football Association Chairman Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has vowed to block any efforts by the current administration to amend term-limit rules for the GFA presidency.

Rumors are circulating that the administration, led by Kurt Okraku, is pushing to revise the GFA statutes to remove the two-term limit for presidents.

Okraku, who was re-elected in 2023 for a second term, would be required to leave office in 2027 under the current rules.

In an interview with Graphic Sports, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe said: “I won’t allow anyone to tinker with the GFA statute after the sacrifices I made to ensure that the position is based on merit through elections.

“Positions tend to corrupt people in this country, and when you extend the term, the corruption becomes even worse.

“I was the architect of the two-term limit for the FA presidency, and I will not allow anyone to topple the statute to serve their personal agenda.”

He concluded: “If they attempt to change the tenure, I will fight it with all my strength. It was my recommendation that compelled the FA to adopt this policy.”
