Kwasi Nyantakyi has expressed his gratitude to the country\u2019s president John Evans Atta Mills and his deputy John Mahama for playing a \u2019significant role\u2019 in his CAF elections success.<\/p>\n
Ghana FA boss is also grateful to the people of his country for the support they offered him to defeat Issa Hayatou\u2019s preferred candidate to win a seat on the executive committee of the continental governing body.<\/p>\n
Nyantakyi thrashed Anjorin Moucharafou of Benin by clinching 64% per cent of the votes to ease through to seal Ghana\u2019s seal on the powerful body for the first time in nearly two decades.<\/p>\n
Prof Mills sent deputy sports minister Nii Nortey Dua to back Nyantakyi\u2019s bid in Sudan while Mr. Mahama convinced African FA bosses in a recent meeting in Accra to vote for the Ghanaian.<\/p>\n
Nyantakyi insists without the support of his country\u2019s president and the vice president as well as the Ghanaians victory would have been difficult.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst of all I want to thank His Excellency Prof. John Evans Atta Mills for the massive support he gave before this historic victory,\u201d Nyantakyi told Ghanasoccernet.com.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe vice president Mr. John Mahama also played a very significant role in this as he convinced my colleagues African FA bosses that I can do a good job at the launching of the Goal Project in Prampram. I am grateful.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe minister of sport and his deputy all chipped in their support which made things smooth for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cGhanaians also gave me their massive backing with prayers, fasting and moral support which went a long way in helping.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am eternally grateful to all of them and I assure them that this victory is not for Nyantakyi \u2013 it is for the people for Ghana \u2013 it is for the people of Africa.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy country\u2019s interest will be strongly represented in Africa football and the interest of all African countries will be firmly protected and advanced\u201d<\/p>\n
Nyantakyi started his work on the Caf Executive Committee on Thursday, just one day after his victory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
