GFA members popped champagne over NDC defeat”-Nii Lantey Vanderpuye

Nii Lantey Vanderpuye has levelled allegation against the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for wishing the downfall of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), because he wanted sanity to prevail in Ghana football.
The Sports Ministry led by Nii Lantey and the Kwesi Nyantakyi led GFA were at loggerheads and they disagreed on virtually everything relating to football in the country.

The loss of the NDC meant the end of the former broadcast journalist’s tenure as the Sports Minister, however, he retained his seat as a member of parliament.

The MP for Odododiodioo constituency has hit out at the GFA that so far us he is still an MP he would ensure that matters relating to sports are scrutinised, adding that the Sports Minister designate, who is seen as a pro-GFA will not have his way out with the top-hierarchy of the FA, as they think.
”I should be history because NDC is no more in power but I am not history in parliament. Yesterday [Tuesday, February 8], his minister appeared before me. [As long as] I continue to be a Member of Parliament)…I could summon him to appear before parliament. So me being history is his word; he knows, if he understands the relevance and the strength in the power of parliament, he will not say an MP is history,” the Member of Parliament for Odododiodioo told Class FM.
”Is that why they were praying that I lose my seat in Odododiodioo? Is that why some people from the football fraternity came and they were financing my opponent for me to lose?
”Is that why they popped champagne at the GFA Secretariat when NDC lost the elections? …They popped champagne and played music. I have the evidence on video, I have the video. They saw me as a problem but I am not a problem. I was fighting in the interest of mother Ghana.”
