Medeama SC comunications director Patrick Akoto has praised GFA president, Kurt Okraku for his fantastic performance in office.
Akoto, during an interview with sportscaster Stephen Kwame Yeboah on Connect FM, acknowledged the numerous obstacles that Okraku has faced during his time in charge.
Despite these challenges, Okraku has managed to orchestrate a remarkable transformation in Ghanaian football.
This achievement is particularly notable given the disarray that followed the release of the Anas Aremeyaw Anas ‘Number 12’ video expose.
“With the greatest of humility and respect, I think Kurt Edwin Simon Okraku has overachieved as GFA President,” Akoto said.
“Just like any other organizations, there are challenges, and I don’t think the association has had it smoothly since assuming office.”

He continued, “Before Kurt Okraku and his administration took over the mantle, Ghana football was obliterated. It was dead, looking at what happened with the Anas video and everything.”
“The soul, fibre of our football was completely put in a state of coma. The image, integrity, credibility and brand of our football was completely deteriorated.”
After Kurt Okraku’s term ends, he plans to run for re-election.
Although he has encountered obstacles, his efforts to revive the credibility of Ghanaian football have received significant recognition, and he continues to be a greatly respected figure in the sport.
