Reshuffle: Disastrous Mustapha Ahmed out; Nii Lante in

Dr. Mustapha Ahmed's disastrous reign as Ghana's sports minister has come to a screeching end after the country's leader, President John Dramani Mahama fired the dentist on Tuesday morning and replaced him with ace sports broadcaster, Hon. Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye.

Ghana's leading football news website Ghanasoccernet.com exclusively revealed the impending sacking of the incompetent minister exactly two weeks ago after several spats with athletes and sports administrators.

In a strategic move by President Mahama, the leader of the ruling NDC party is ridding his government of elements that will mar the chances of his government in the general elections in November.

The massive election-winning ministerial reshuffle rids the cash-burdened ministry of Dr Mustahpa who had no experience in sports which led to several embarrassing gaffes for the government in his eight months in charge.
