Ahmad polled 34 votes to win the CAF presidential election with Mr Hayatou losing with 20.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Nyantakyi who said he was instrumental in the overthrow of the Cameroonian told Accra-based Joy FM, \u201cI was against Hayatou and I was happy that my team won. I was very instrumental, I was very strategic and I was deep in the planning of the overthrow of Hayatou.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cIf Hayatou had won maybe I would have resigned from CAF because it came to a point that we could not work with him, not only me, but other people on my team\u2026we took a risk and it paid off. It\u2019s like a coup maker. When you fail in a coup, you commit the offence of high treason and you are punishable by death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you succeed in the coup, you are the president. It\u2019s a risk you take so we took the risk and I\u2019m happy that we won. But we didn\u2019t win on the basis that people liked us, but our message that we put across and that was our manifesto and I\u2019m happy to announce that we are implementing it\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 33 updated by: 33 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Friday, 29 September 2017 Source: Starrfmonline.com 2017-09-29 Kwesi Nyantakyi, President of the Ghana Football Association &#13; The president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kwesi Nyantakyi, has disclosed he would have resigned from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) had Issa Hayatou succeeded in retaining power.
