Published on: 23 August 2016

Ghana FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi says the country's sports minister Nii Lante Vanderpuiye is 'behaving like a serial caller' amid 'amateurish' shenanigans following recent unrest between the two associations.

The Member of Parliament for Odododiodoo constituency has been at loggerheads with the FA since he assumed office.

He has launched a series of tirade targeted at the Ghana FA without provocation.

The former footballer cum boxer appears to have a bone to pick with the country's federation after making several public comments without due recourse to the federation.

And Ghana FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi appears unhappy with his public outburst and says he's is behaving like a serial caller.

"Nii Lantei Vanderpuije is behaving like a serial caller," he told Starr FM on Tuesday

"When you take your problems out without attempting to solve them, you're being amateurish.

"I have not done any wrong and the old man up stairs will judge us one day. Everybody will get their result here and hereafter.

"It's borne out of envy, pettiness and jealousy. I'm just being emotional and that show I am a human being.

"Sometimes you just come across situations and you smile and move on."

Nii Lante Vanderpuije has claimed deep-seated knowledge of the running of the game than members of the federation.

The legislature has constantly warned he will face members of the federation head-on if they fail to yield to his so-called advice.

The minister' public outburst against the payment of entitlement to the Black Stars management committee has amplified the long-held suspicion that he is at loggerheads with the FA.

He has also accused the current Black Stars players of being indiscipline- with fears his continuous denigration of the players could affect the team's chances of qualifying to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Critics have accused the country's sports minister of playing to the gallery without proper consultation due to his recent public outburst.
