NDC General Secretary Koku Anyidoho has revealed it took the intervention of former Ghana President John Mahama to stop a probe the Ghana Football Association back in 2009.
He claims some party big wigs including former Sports Minister Nii Lante Vanderpuye, Kojo Bonsu and Kojo Twum Boafo were bent on investigating the federation over corrupt practices.
Anyidoho reveals GFA president Kwesi Nyantakyi had to run for cover and approached then Ghana vice-president Mahama to intervene.
''We thought that we had to look into GFA matters. This business where government is sponsoring football yet we can’t look into their affairs to me is quizzy,'' Anyindoho said on Ghanaweb's 21 Minutes interview
''There was a typical issue that had to do with Kwesi Nyantakyi and the GFA. And some of us sports enthusiasts like Nii Lante, Kojo Bonsu, Kojo Twum Boafo at the time.
''We thought that Kwesi Nyantakyi was doing something wrong and having come into power we needed to go into the FA as a government but I think somehow Kwesi Nyantakyi found his way to the Vice President John Mahama and the Vice President had a chat with President Mills. So the president asked us his boys to slow down on Nyantakyi.''

Wow so John Mahama was way corrupt before he even became president. No wonder corruption thrive so well under his administration. Well done Koku for exposing John Mahama, that man can never be allowed to lead and destroy our party for us . . . metchewww
this guy is just telling us mahama is corrupt. but we know that already. so he shd tell us something else.
Loose talker. Where from this one too? What locus had you to investigate so called corrupt GFA? Do you think it's ***barred word*** who initiate investigation into corrupt allegations.
can we put sentiments aside and find a purposeful way of electing our leaders? he was once a member of gov and imagine the decisions he contributed into the shaping of our gh.npp have you noted his comments
You guys are not fit to rule this country again.... No wonder because John Ford Mahama himself is also corrupt...... You corrupt NDC guys took $3M by air to Brazil and shared it among yourselves... Ask Elvis Afriyie Ankrah.....
It shows how Mahama eat, sleeps and does ALMOST everything that is associated with CORRUPTION!
So Koku you see how you have exposed the NDC? You are testifying that NDC is corrupt from day one and more especially John Dramani Mahama. Because JDM new he was coming to chop Ghana's money nyafunyafu he decided to stop the investigation into the alleged corruption at the GFA. This is the reason why the Gyamefe commission report could not be implemented but rather people like Afriyie Ankrah and Kwadjo Adu Asare were rewarded with positions at the presidency after paying $20,000 to a guide on a day. NDC corrupt party, says Koku
Because his CORRUPT boys and errands were implicated. Ghana has never experienced a CORRUPT President like Mahama before! A president going against the law? The law even says 'if you know of evil committed, but does not report them, they are offenses. NDC -Mahama did a lot of EVIL against Ghana. NEVER AGAIN!
That bis why JDM never got my votes in 2016 and will never if he dare stand again
Not just a cover up but he is telling us that Mahama is as corrupt as Nyantakyi. I feel sorry for Uncle Atta cos he is not alive to deny or confirm this. The man who hated corruption stopped a probe into a place where corruption is their everyday language?
