Senior CAF Media Officer Ibrahim Saanie Daara has called on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to reconsider its charges against Elmina Sharks owner, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, following a violent incident at the Nduom Sports Stadium.
However, Daara, a former GFA spokesperson, stressed the importance of business figures like Dr Nduom in supporting the growth of football in Ghana.
He urged the GFA to reconsider its stance, emphasizing that it’s not always necessary to charge individuals in such situations.
Daara also noted that Dr Nduom attempted to calm the crowd on the pitch and suggested that patience and diplomacy should be exercised when handling such issues.
“We need people like Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom to invest in our game,” he told Asempa FM.
“Regardless of what has happened, it shouldn’t always be about charging people. I have heard an account that he even went on the pitch to calm the fans so let’s exercise patience in terms of decision making.
“What if he gets angry and dissolves the team? He has his stadium and so the GFA should consider all these things.
“Any decision he makes will affect the Division One League and we should also remember that this is someone who has previously sponsored the Division One League.
“Maybe he is wrong but sometimes, we need diplomacy in resolving such issues,” he added.
