Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kwasi Nyantakyi, says he is the best person to replace the late Member of Parliament (MP) for Ejisu and Deputy Finance Minister, John Kumah.

Mr. Nyantakyi is among nine aspirants who have picked up nominations to contest the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primary for Ejisu.

Speaking in an interview with the media, Mr. Nyantakyi described himself as the Cristiano Ronaldo who has to replace Mr. Kumah, whom he referred to as Lionel Messi.

“If Lionel Messi plays a game and gets injured, will you go and take anybody at all to replace him? You need Cristiano Ronaldo or Mbappe or Haaland…I am the Ronaldo that should be brought to replace Lionel Messi [John Kumah],” he stated.
