Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kwasi Nyantakyi, has expressed his desire to replace the late Member of Parliament (MP) for Ejisu and Deputy Finance Minister, John Kumah.
His bid to contest the seat has been met with public outcry due to his alleged involvement in corruption, as revealed in the famous Number 12 expose.
Despite this, Nyantakyi believes he is the best candidate for the job, likening himself to Cristiano Ronaldo who must replace Lionel Messi, referring to John Kumah.
“If Lionel Messi plays a game and gets injured, will you go and take anybody at all to replace him? You need Cristiano Ronaldo or Mbappe or Haaland…I am the Ronaldo that should be brought to replace Lionel Messi [John Kumah],” he stated.
Nyantakyi is one of nine aspirants who have picked up nominations to contest the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primary for Ejisu.
