According to the former
Sunderland striker, Ghanaians haunted Nyantakyi out of office and destroyed his
promising football career without considering the direction he was taking Ghana
football.
Gyan believes that the former
FIFA Council member and CAF 1st Vice President was not treated fairly by Ghanaians
and was chased out of his influential role instead of opening a deep
investigation after the Anas Exposé.
“He [Kwasi Nyantakyi] was
like an angel sent to help Ghana Football. Let’s look at the peak he elevated
our game to the world,” Gyan told Joy FM.
”The man was mishandled and
treated unfairly by Ghanaians after the so called video exposé. We should have
opened an in-depth investigation into the matter.
“I have worked with him for
several years and I know the kind of person, I am talking about today. He rose
the highest level of world football to become Caf first-vice president and a
Fifa Executive Council Member but we used less than 48 hours to bring him down.
“Our football hasn’t been
better since Kwasi Nyantakyi absence. It’s very sad. Whether we like it or not,
Ghana made the three appearances at the FIFA World Cup because of him,” Gyan
fumed.
Nyantakyi was highly
embarrassed in what has been described as a sting operation by Anas and his
team of investigators, leading to life ban from FIFA from all football related
activities.
