The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) says he will be signing Anas’ petition to quicken up the process of having the former President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) prosecuted.

Ace undercover journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas last week began an online petition to pile pressure on the Attorney General, Gloria Akufo to prosecute Kwesi Nyantakyi.

Anas and his team, Tiger P.I are surprised several months after the Number 12 exposé was premiered, no proper action has been taken in a way of prosecuting Mr Nyantakyi.

Even before a final verdict will be given on the issue, Johnson Asiedu Nketia popularly known as General Mosquito is already predicting that ‘nothing will happen’ to Mr Nyantakyi.

He believes the process will drag on and eventually, the former GFA President will be left off the hook.

“Nothing will happen to Kwesi Nyantakyi . . . nothing will happen, and I hope I can be proven wrong. Looking at what has been shown in the video it gives the impression of Kwesi Nyantakyi as a very well politically connected person,” he said.

Asiedu Nketia who was contributing to a panel discussion on Joy Newsfile programme added: “the challenge in fighting corruption has always been dealing with somebody who is connected to a government in power. The real challenge is the political courage to deal with your own . . . nothing will happen to that young man . . . he creates the impression he is well connected. Even by way of prosecution, this thing will delay and so on . . . I support Anas’ petition and right from here I am going to sign it . . . but I hope I can be proven wrong. I want them to prove me wrong”.
