Veteran football administrator Ntow Fianko rejects proposed extension of Ghana FA Presidential term limits

Reports emerging suggest the Ghana FA administration, led by Kurt Okraku, is pushing to revise the GFA statutes by extending the two-term limits to three.

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

The former Chairman of the Division One League entreated football administrators to block any attempt of amending the term-limit rules for the GFA presidency.

“Ghana football isn’t for anyone. Others came and left, so Kurt Okraku shouldn’t feel entitled. HP Nyameteye, Sam Okyere, MND Jawula and others came to serve as GFA president but they left when their tenure was over”

“Football administrators must kick against the three-term proposal. What’s his achievement as GFA president now? He hasn’t done anything to deserve a third term”

Meanwhile, former GFA chairman Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has vowed to reject any attempt to extend the GFA presidency term limit.

“I won’t allow anyone to tinker with the GFA statute after the sacrifices I made to ensure the position is based on merit through elections,” he told Graphic Sports.

“Positions 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 stated firmly. “If they try to change the tenure, I’ll fight it with all my strength. It was my recommendation that compelled the FA to adopt this policy,” he added.
