A good one there, Nyaho!

I like Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe - "The General".. He knows it. I remember when we went on the Radio Eye march to parliament some time ago, he was one of the people at the head of the column.
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.
