Ghanaian soccer fans have hailed FA President Kwesi Nyantakyi election to serve on the Executive Committee of Caf.<\/p>\n
The 43-year-old delivered an embarrassing and landslide victory over Issah Hayatou\u2019s favourite Anjorin Moucharaf of Benin. Plenitude of congratulatory messages dominated local radio phone-ins when the news broke out.<\/p>\n
\u201dThis is a testimony of the kind of work that Mr Nyantakyi has done for Ghana Football and we should all be happy as Ghanaian and that he\u2019ll bring his rich vein of experience to bear on the African continent,\u201d Ex- Hearts of Oak National Chapters Committee Secretary Maxwell Asabre told Happy FM<\/p>\n
A fan Veronica Mensah said: \u201cThis is a great moment for Ghana Football and I\u2019m lost for words. This is the man we need to help us go higher and higher. I\u2019m full of tears and don\u2019t even know what to say again. I\u2019m simple overjoyed.<\/p>\n
Kumasi-based Hello FM\u2019s Kenneth Obeng reports the news spread like wildfire with messages of felicitations pouring in thick and fast from soccer fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess this is what many local fans have been waiting for and so I\u2019m not really surprised that the kind of response that has greeted fans in the city of Kumasi. This is an indication that man heavily loved in the garden city and I\u2019m sure the celebration will go deep into the night.\u201d<\/p>\n
Volta Premier\u2019s Rustum Senorgbe also says fans in the Volta region have received the news which was broke by GHANAsoccernet.com with great pride.<\/p>\n
\u201dTo tell you the truth a lot of the radio stations that were running their normal music programmes quickly shifted attention to the Caf election when the news was broke and I must say the number of calls to the various stations is amazing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sam Okyere was the last Ghanaian who served in the post in 1994. Nyantakyi\u2019s work ethic has finally landed him one of the top jobs on the African continent<\/p>\n
He has endeared himself to the various African FA bosses with his affability and humility as compared to man who has led Benin into chaos.<\/p>\n
This ascension to the position will bring Ghana football lots of good-like the many favourable decisions that went Nigeria\u2019s way when the disgraced Amos Adamu held a Caf Executive Committee position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
