Kwesi Nyantakyi
Kwesi Nyantakyi is a former Ghanaian football administrator who served as the President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) from 2005 until his resignation in 2018. He became a prominent figure in African football, playing a significant role in the development of the sport in Ghana. However, his reputation was marred by a corruption scandal exposed by journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, which led to legal battles and a lengthy suspension from football activities. Recently, he was discharged by an Accra High Court after a five-year legal case due to the prosecution's failure to present witnesses.
