Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kwesi Nyantakyi has thrown his support behind the current leader, Kurt Okraku, expressing confidence in his abilities given the necessary backing from stakeholders.
Nyantakyi emphasised Okraku’s potential to elevate Ghana’s football status, underscoring the importance of unified support for the GFA president.
Despite recent criticisms of Okraku’s administration following the Black Stars’ disappointing performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Nyantakyi remains hopeful about the future of Ghanaian football under Okraku’s leadership.
Speaking to 3Sports, Nyantakyi emphasised the need for collective assistance for Okraku, urging post-election unity to ensure support for the elected candidate.
“Oh, I think that he is capable. He just needs help. Everybody should help him. One thing I advise is that when it’s election time, people come with different tasks and have different candidates but let’s rally around whoever the majority elects and provide the needed support so that we can achieve the common objective,” he stated
“The common objective is to find national teams succeeding. Our football grassroots. For men’s and women’s football, everything going well. So let’s give him the support and I have no doubt that if we give him the support he will succeed”, he added.
