Former Ghana Football Association vice president George Afriyie has backed President John Dramani Mahama’s nomination of Kofi Adams as the Minister-designate for Sports and Recreation.
The former Chief Executive Officer of Liberty Professionals asserted that President Mahama has appointed the right man for the job.
Speaking with Channel One TV, he noted that he could not criticise the appointment while stating that his sole duty as a football administrator is to offer Kofi Adams the needed support.
“The president has appointed a minister, and I strongly believe that, in his wisdom, he has selected somebody who can do the job,” he said.
“All we can do as football people is to offer our support. Right away, I cannot be criticising what he can do and what he can’t do. Honestly, from where he comes from, I strongly believe that the president has had proper consultation and that this man can do the job,” he said.
President John Dramani Mahama nominated Kofi Adams as the Minister-designate for Sports and Recreation in a statement released on January 21, 2024.
The president noted that Kofi Adams will spearhead affairs in the sports sector as well as recreational activities.
His nomination is pending parliamentary approval after he undergoes the vetting process by the Appointments Committee of Parliament.
