Although, youth and sports minister Isaac Asiamah met both men to settle the impasse, they still don\u2019t talk to each other at public functions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;The current vice president [George Afriyie], I don&#8217;t have a problem with him. He rather had problems with me but I have not told him I have a problem with him,&#8221; Nyantakyi told Joy FM.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The issues came up and we have resolved them. It is strange for people to make such generalisation [that I&#8217;ve always fallen out with my previous vice presidents because I was greedy]. I have worked with four vice presidents so if once upon a time, I have had a problem with one, can you generalise it?<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8221;I didn&#8217;t have a problem with Fred Crenstil nor Fred Pappoe [and] they are my friends especially Crenstil,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8221;Jordan Anagbla [who was the GFA vice] died, so I had a problem with him before he passed away? It doesn&#8217;t make sense to make such generalisation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;When people don&#8217;t like you they try to find problems with you just to give you a bad name, it is unfortunate,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Nyantakyi has reiterated that he will vacate his post as Ghana FA president at the end of his tenure in 2019 and concentrate on his positions at Caf and Fifa.<\/p>\n<p>Afriyie and Kurt Okraku have publicly expressed their interest to replace Nyantakyi.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related_articles\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; font-size: 90%; background-color: #eeeaea; padding: 5px; width: 60%; margin-top: 10px;\">\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/53372278.jpg\" style=\"padding-right:2px;\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0;width:100%; vertical-align:middle; font-size:11px;\">Courtesy of Goal.com &#8211; the world&#8217;s largest football website.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Comments:<\/strong><br \/>This article has 1 comment(s),  give your comment\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 55 updated by: -1 --><\/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: Goal.com 2017-09-29 Kwesi Nyantakyi and George Afriyie &#13; Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi insists he has never had any problem with his vice George Afriyie but it was the latter who began all the recent brouhaha.
