Rashid Pelpuo warns incoming Sports minister.

Former Sports minister, Hon. Abdul-Rashid Pelpuo has cautioned the incumbent Sports minister who will be appointed by President-elect, Nana Akufu-Addo after he assumes office in January 7th 2017.
He said on Sports Xtra on Viasat 1,that the incoming minister should cooperate with the FA rather than engage in unnecessary conflicts.
"I will tell the minister to work with the GFA, cooperate with them. It is the way to develop Ghana football and it is the way to get the Black Stars and the smaller teams to go far. It doesn’t pay when you have a conflict with them and you begin to fighting them as if the GFA is an extension of the government. It is an elected and not part of government. We should get the GFA to work under the umbrella of Ghana’s policy on football; but that should not change the character of the GFA. If you try to change the character, if you try to influence their elections, if you want to fight people who are already in office, it will mar the situation and not auger well for Ghana football. Once you run contrary to them, you introduce divisions, you introduce contradictions and it goes to affect the national teams in general,” the MP explained.
   It's still anonymous who will take the mantle from Nii Lante Vanderpuye as the next Sports minister.
