Sports Minister Talks Tough- ‘surrogates’ can’t hound me out’
Ghana’s Youth and Sports Minister Nii Lantey
Vanderpuije seems to be on a collision course with
officials of the Ghana Football Association
(GFA).

He has warned that plans to get him out of the
ministry will be an exercise in futility and will
not be cowed into shelving his agenda of ensuring
that Ghana’s football develops.

“I have told myself, I will not allow anyone to
hound me out,” he told host of Hot Issues on TV3
Saturday. Personally, as Nii Lantey Vanderpuije I
don’t have a problem with anybody at the GFA
because at the end of the day I don’t care who
is the FA president. What is of interest to me is
Ghana football. If you led a certain path and
today, trends have changed, the dynamics of the
situation demands that we should relook at the way
we have done things in the past, I don’t think
it should call for hatred [or] it should call for
animosity. We should sit down and talk,” he
said.

According to him, he has received several reports
since as assuming office.

“There have been “things that I’ve seen,
things that I’ve heard, explanations that I’ve
received to certain things that I think that as a
country, we’ve been very lucky” ‘Cow dung’
circus at GFA .The surface is dry but beneath is
all maggots. So I believe that we should change
the way we do things. FA ‘surrogates’ can’t
hound me “I have a problem with the way some of
the things are done. I have problems with some of
the surrogates of the management of the Black
Stars who think that they could be the voice of
their masters and go on the offensive and attack
ministers, hound the ministers out of office”,
he added.
