The owner of Elmina Sharks, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, has disclosed how some officials of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) sabotaged his role on the Normalisation Committee.
According to his narration, he was a member of the Normalisation Committee, led by Dr. Kofi Amoah, tasked with undertaking reforms in Ghanaian football following the dissolution of the GFA in the wake of Anas’ Number 12 Exposé.
He revealed that there was an instance where he was supposed to join committee members for an engagement on reforms in Europe, but was denied access to the plane.
Speaking in an interview with GTV Sports+, Dr. Nduom asserted that some GFA officials who did not like him were behind the move to remove him from the committee.
“I started engaging with the GFA sometime back, but they pushed me away. Not just the football association, but even the previous administration. I was supposed to have been part of the reform team with Kofi Amoah and others.
“Do you know that the day we were supposed to fly out of Ghana to Europe to discuss reforms, I was taken off the plane?” he narrated.
He said while commenting on the chaotic incident that led to players and fans attacking the referee during Elmina Sharks’ game against Swedru All Blacks on February 16, 2025.
