Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi has scaled up the on-going war of words between the sector Minister Nii Lantey Vanderpuye and the GFA by claiming the minister’s criticism of the Ghana Premier League was like that of a serial caller.

The GFA president has always insisted the football association has no problem with the sports minister but Kwesi Nyantakyi pulled no punches when he was asked about the minister’s criticism of the Ghana Premier League on Starr FM on Tuesday.

The minister had said the league has no sponsorship because it is not attractive enough. Nyantakyi was clearly not impressed.

“This is a league that we dream, eat and think about. This is a league where the clubs are owned by individuals”, Nyantakyi said.

“None of them is owned by the government. The question is what has the govt been doing to help? That is what I expected the minister to be doing and not to be criticising the league without any facts probably like a serial caller. Unfortunately and sorry to say that without any justifiable cause.”
