Sports journalist, Patrick Osei Agyemang, popularly known as Countryman Songo, has said Nii Lantey Vanderpuye stands tall amongst Elvis Afriyie Ankrah and Isaac Asiamah as Sports Ministers.
According to the vociferous journalist, the current Sports Minister, Mr Asiamah, is not performing as he should. “Our Sports Minister is only talking, he’s doing too much talking… the minister is not performing, he’s only talking,” he told Bola Ray on Accra-based Starr FM.
Songo, who is an avid critic of the senior national team, Black Stars, reiterated his belief that the team, its head coach Kwesi Appiah and officials at the Ghana Football Association, were wasting taxpayers money.
His comment comes as Ghana is struggling to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia after picking five points from four games and sits third in Group E.
Presented with a list of Mr Vanderpuye, Mr Ankrah and Mr Asiamah, and asked to choose which man was most capable of running Ghana sports, Mr Osei Agyemang said, “Nii Lantey is fantastic.
“Nii Lantey Vanderpuye wanted the truth… Nii Lantey is fantastic, he stands tall. He thinks like me, he fires like me in a very professional way and he’s a sports man. Amongst them all he is a sports man and a journalist too so he knows the job and he knows what to do when it comes to boxing, athletics and when it comes to football. When Nii Lantey was doing the right thing, they didn’t want him to do it.”

So give us a tall list of NII Lante's achievements as sports minister.What solid thing would you say the man did as sports minister. One of the main problems of Ghana Sports is all these 'low-cost 'journalists who enlarge their voices on radio and tv and spew n0ns3nse.There is this ars3-h0l3 of a sports journalist with one thousand teeth who on Angel tv said the current sports minister 'no wabon'.You might be friends of Nii-Lamptey but the truth is that his government is out in the cold and therefore he cannot be minister -period.Songo your drunken presentations on Tv does not make you a pundit on sports.
They thought they were sabotaging him because he decline to pay some bonuses to the players for the GFA officials to dubiously pocket the money. You he knew of the kind of rot there as a sport journalist with years of experience under his belt that is more than Nyantekyi's years of administration in the GFA. Girl do your research well before you talk. I agree that you don't like the man Nii Lantey but frankly speaking he would have changed the GFA for the better and Assiama can never bring the kind of change the GFA needs.
Re: tony the Bull Hahahaha, are u serious at all? Your so call Land Guard Nii Lante is nothing but a noise maker who know next to nothing about football administration. What has he achieved so far as a Minister? Was is it not tenure that the Black stars started performing miserably in the world cup campaign. Asiamah knows his left and right and will surely perform as a sports Minister before the end of the first tenure of the NPP
Massa; how can you compare Elvis Afriyie this NDC maggot and a stiller and a KROOK and Asiamah the NPP talking robot and a potential corrupt man with Nii Lante ; there is no contest because Nii Lante is a man of principles and a 'NO NUMSENSES MAN' and knows the sports business more than any of the two RATS !!!!; Nii Lante could have been the best choice to clean GFA but Ghana politics will not allow that !!!!
