"George Afriyie has betrayed his boss Kwesi Nyantakyi for declaring his intention to contest in 2019 GFA Presidential Elections.

"I have personally told Nyantakyi to contest the 2019 elections and I know he will change his mind.

"I can tell you on authority that George Akwasi Afriyie never consulted his boss Kwesi Nyantakyi before declaring his intention to contest in 2019 GFA Presidential Elections.

"If George Afriyie should have consulted me, I would have told him not to declare to contest for the Ghana FA presidency because the timing was bad," he added.
