Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has revealed that former Sports Minister Yaw Osafo-Maafo told him to resign from his position as the chairman of the Ghana Football Association [GFA].
The Accra Hearts of Oak board member resigned from his position as the GFA chairman barely a year after being appointed by former President John Agyekum Kufour to replace the late Ben Kwoffie.
According to him, he resigned from his post during his impeachment process after he was told to vacate the office by then Sports Minister Yaw Osafo-Maafo because he didn’t have the support of football people.
“Osafo-Maafo invited me during my impeachment and court case alongside, Kwesi Nyantakyi, Dr Kofi Amoah, Fred Pappoe, and some other football people to discuss football,” he said on GTV Sports Plus on Thursday.
“Osafo-Maafo told me to step aside and he will find a place for me in the administration. I became angry and I refused to do it because he was not the one who appointed me so he cannot fire me. I left the meeting after banging the door behind me and resigned as GFA president days later.
Nyaho Tamakloe served as the FA boss from 2004 to 2005.
He held the role for a year before Kwesi Nyantakyi took over and became the longest-serving GFA president in Ghana’s footballing history.
