“Let me pay tribute to all of the former Presidents so far. I don’t know who was first but I believe they have all played their roles in getting us here today, but there is one man who has taken us to three Mundials (World Cup) and that is Kwesi Nyantakyi.
“And so he will be my favorite FA President,” he said on Starr Chat, hosted by Bola Ray.
