Liberian F.A Chairman and Fifa President hopeful Musa Bility has thrown his weight behind Kwesi Nyantakyi should he decide to run for the FIFA top job.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Sport Night, the Liberian paid glowing tribute to Nyantakyi stating that he was one of the best Africa had to offer.
“Kwesi is confident, he is competent. He represents absolutely one of the best in our continent and I absolutely believe that he can make all of us proud as president of FIFA definitely,” Musa told Asempa Sports.
When quizzed on stepping down for Nyantakyi should he decide to run for FIFA Presidency, Musa Bility graciously submitted that he would pave way for his compatriot.
“He has been president of a federation long before me. It will be a pleasure to give him the opportunity to run.”
“Your team is one of the best, not just the senior national team but on all levels.”
“You should be proud of him.”
The FIFA presidency became open for contention on 2 June when 79-year-old Sepp Blatter announced he would step down as president amid allegations of corruption among Fifa officials.
