Mr Nii Lante Vanderpuye, who is a former Sports Minister under the erstwhile John Mahama administration was speaking on Citi Breakfast show this morning.

He said what he was saying is a matter of record and not new, as ordinary journalists in the game know what he is talking about.

Mr Vanderpuye who as Sports Minister was not on good terms with The GFA President Kwesi Nyantakyi and his team seemed to be excited that the Anas exposé vindicated his numerous allegations against the ‘football people’.

“Every sports journalist would say Nyantakyi did well because we qualified to three World Cups … I know why we qualified, we paid; even Osei Palmer admitted as much”, the former Sports Minister under the erstwhile John Mahama administration said.
