Former Chairman of the Ghana Football Association, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has pledged to resist any attempts by the current leadership to alter the term-limit regulations for the GFA presidency.

There are speculations that Kurt Okraku's administration is seeking to modify the GFA statutes to eliminate the two-term restriction for presidents.

In a discussion with Graphic Sports, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe expressed his determination, stating, “I will not permit anyone to interfere with the GFA statute after the efforts I made to ensure that the position is determined by merit through elections.

“Positions can lead to corruption in this country, and extending the term only exacerbates the issue.

“I was instrumental in establishing the two-term limit for the FA presidency, and I will not allow anyone to undermine this statute for their own interests."

He added, “Should they try to modify the tenure, I will oppose it vigorously. It was my suggestion that led the FA to implement this policy.”
