Former President, John Dramani Mahama has showered praises on Kurt Okraku led administration for bringing vitality into Ghana football after taking over from the Normalisation Committee.
Okraku and his Executive Council took over the reins of Ghana Football in October 2019 after he secured votes in the third round of the GFA elections.
Prior to that, the sport was in the hands of a Normalisation Committee chaired by Business mogul Dr. Kofi Amoah for about 16-months following the Anas Expose that sought to expose some corrupt officials in Ghana football.
“We know that under this administration, the GFA has brought some more vitality into our football and we are all supporting this administration to make sure we move football to the next level,” former President Mahama said as quoted by ghanafa.org.
“I know there are challenges in the domestic League because our people are more interested in the foreign League and so people don’t come to the stadium as they should but it is normally a good family entertainment, but we need to raise the standard so people will love to come to the stadium.”
He added, “There has been concerns about refereeing and so it depresses the quality of the league but we have faith that you have all that in hand and we will continue to support you.”
“My doors are open and if there is anything you think as a former President, I can do to bring in any moral encouragement, don’t hesitate to let me know.”
