He was dressed in "white-white", with walking stick and all. He cut a most impressive figure. As we neared the temporary Parliament House, which at that time was in the Accra Conference Centre, a group of NDC thugs charged on us and we had to "scatter", each running for dear life.

The last I saw of Nyaho that morning was somewhere behind the Accra Sports Stadium showing a clean pair of heels like all of us. I managed to escape through the car park of the conference centre and exited on the side of the "Blue Gate" to safety.

Later when I recounted this to the "General" we had a good laugh. Nyaho has a forbidding exterior but this is one man who has a lot of mirth, warmth and dedication.

I knew all along that should he find himself in a convincingly untenable position at the football association, he would quit.

He has done just that, and done himself great honour.
