Ghanaian media personality, Nana Aba Anamoah, has voiced her dissatisfaction and frustration with the current state of football in Ghana.
During a live studio discussion on 3Music TV, Nana Aba criticized the recent “Save Ghana Football” protest by some football enthusiasts, describing it as futile.
She suggested that the only solution to the issues plaguing Ghanaian football is to dissolve the GFA and face a ban from FIFA, the world football governing body.
“Yesterday, I saw that protest, the ‘save Ghana football’. It’s not going to do anything. What we should do is dissolve that FA, get a ban from FIFA, and put our house in order. And putting a house in order doesn’t mean putting friends and cronies there. It means to put people with sense there to work,” she said.
She also expressed that she is not afraid of any politician or football official in the country. She emphasized that she expected better leadership from Kurt Okraku, the President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), and Henry Asante Twum, the Head of Communications of the GFA.
“I used to work with Kurt when he was doing the FA Cup. I used to host it for him. And I expected better from Kurt Okraku, but Kurt has not done better. I expected Henry Asante Twum to do better. He hasn’t done better,” she said.
The broadcaster further remarked that Ghanaian football was ‘dead’ and that the Ghana Premier League was on the brink of collapse.
“Our football is dead! Have you followed the local league? Forget about the Black Stars, because they don’t matter. The real problem is our local league. It is dead!” she said.
She also accused the GFA and the Ministry of Youth and Sports of corruption, questioning how the GFA could budget $8.5 million for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, which had a winning prize of $7 million.
“The FA and the sports ministry are in bed, they are having wild sex. That’s what is happening. And we are paying for the room on the hour. I don’t know if they are using condoms. We are paying for everything. Our football is dead!
“How do you budget $8.5 million for a tournament with a winning prize of $7 million? How does that make sense? Our football is dead. It is completely dead,” she claimed.
