Fred Pappoe reveals why he left his role as GFA vice president in 2015

Former Ghana Football Association vice president, Fred Pappoe, has revealed why he left his role in 2015 to venture into private business.

The Ghana FA presidential aspirants who was a key figure in Mr Nyantakyi's administration and played a major role in Ghana's qualification to the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World in Germany and South Africa respectively.

However, he left the association amid rumours of a falling out with Kwesi Nyantakyi.

Even though the Accra Great Olympics director has denied the falling out, he has opened the Pandora’s box on his reasons for cutting ties with the Association and he did so in an interview with Accra-based Atinka FM on Wednesday.

According to him, his reasons for leaving point to the fact that he noticed certain major flaws with Nyantakyi’s administration and he did not wish to be part of a system that was defective.

“I left the Executive council in 2015, I decided not to have anything to do with Nyantakyi Administration because I was fed up with the system.

"I did not contest Mr Nyantakyi for the GFA Presidential position at that time because I knew it was just a matter of time before that administration crashed.”

Pappoe has been campaigning in the last few weeks and he has been seeking the buy-in of delegates who will vote in the GFA elections on October 25.

He will face competition from George Afriyie, George Ankomah Mensah, Amanda Clinton, Kurt Okraku and Nana Yaw Amponsah for the chance to become Nyantakyi’s replacement as the boss of Ghana football.

Mr Pappoe's efforts in those projects earned him two state honours under former Presidents J.A. Kuffour and Mills.
