Ghanaians Should Forgive Nyantakyi – Richard Kingston

Former Black Stars goalkeeper, Richard ‘Olele’ Kingson has made a passionate appeal to Ghanaians to forgive the ex-Ghana Football Association (GFA) president Kwesi Nyantakyi of all his ‘sins’ and move on with life.

Speaking in an interview with Max TV, ‘Olele’ said the happenings of two years ago should be left in the past, so all can forge ahead and pray for better times for the sport of football in the country.

“Ghanaians seem not to have forgiven him for all that happened two years ago and, they keep talking about it and calling him names even till now and this I believe is not right.

“Whatever that happened has happened and Ghanaians should please leave it in the past and look ahead” he said.

He added, ““We should not be seen rejoicing over the misfortune of others, but rather pray that such unfortunate happenings would not find its way into our lives. He is my big brother. I often call and tell him things that would happen and I know he will pull through these hard times.”

Predicting better days ahead for his former boss, Kingson charged Mr Nyantakyi to get closer to the Lord, as he is coming to make him bigger than he was in the past.

“The Lord is about to prepare something big for him and I want to tell him that he should get closer to the Lord and expect his blessings.”

Nyantakyi’s over a decade administration also witnessed the construction of FIFA goal projects at the GFA Secretariat and the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence, Prampram, Black Maidens (U-20 female) FIFA World Cup bronze feat, Black Stars’ AFCON final (2010, 2015), three consecutive AFCON semi- finals, among other feats.

He was accused of corrupt practices. Nyantakyi has since been replaced by Kurt Okraku after a keenly contested elections held eight months ago in Accra.
