The pair have previously been known to be best of friends, however, recent reports suggest that they have since fallen out following a misunderstanding.

George Afriyie is reported to have described his boss as “wicked, greedy and selfish” following the spat, with Nyantakyi also believed to have already initiated plans to “sack” his deputy.

This follows months of intense speculation surrounding the relationship between the GFA chiefs, and Parliament has now taken notice, with plans underway to get the pair back on good terms.

A ranking member of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports, Kwabena Mensah Woyome, has disclosed that both Nyantakyi and Afriyie will be invited to face the committee, as he believes the rift between them spells doom for Ghana football.

In an interview with Uniiq FM he said: “I suggested to the committee and the committee has agreed to write to them to appear before the house because we think there is the need to solve issues.

“When the two continue to fight it is Ghana football that will suffer and any moment from now the committee will officially write to them to appear.”

He added that: “We have not been happy with this problem and therefore the committee has agreed to invite the two individuals for an amicable settlement of their differences.

"The relationship between the two should be cordial so that it will impact positively on the running of football in the country."
