President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kwesi Nyantakyi is not ruling out the possibility of contesting the FIFA Presidency in February 2016.
This comes on the back of FIFA’s ninety day suspension of its President Sepp Blatter, UEFA President Michel Platini and FIFA General Secretary, Jerome Valcke, over allegations of impropriety.
Prior to the suspension of the three, several persons in football circles from different continents had announced their bid to enter the race to succeed the beleaguered FIFA President, Sepp Blatter.
The persons include two Africans, namely Musa Bility, Liberia’s FA President and Nigeria’s former soccer captain, Segun Odegbami.
Speaking exclusively to Citi News on the possibility of vying for the topmost football job, Mr. Kwesi Nyantakyi said although he welcomes the confidence reposed in him by influential figures, he is yet to make up his mind.
But the legal practitioner and football administrator appears interested in the job whether now or in the future.
“I have no doubt at all that maybe at the right time, I could be a candidate one day. I also appreciate the show of confidence that I have received from all those who think I could be a candidate; I welcome that very much but I have really not considered it. It is something that you need to consult with your family, close associates, people you work with on the federation and then the CAF. These are your families in football and you need to do that. I have not done that and so I cannot state now whether I will be a candidate or not”.
