The newly elected President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kurt Okraku has heaped praises on his predecessor Kwesi Nyantakyi describing him as his favorite President of the FA so far.
He told Bola Ray on Starr Chat on Starr FM that his assessment of Mr. Nyantakyi is based on the fact that he managed to take Ghana to three World cups.
” Let me pay tribute to all of the former Presidents so far. I don’t know who was first but I believe they have all played their roles in getting us here today but there is one man who has taken us to three mundials (world cup) and that is Kwesi Nyantakyi. And so he will be my favorite FA President,” he answered to a question from Bola Ray.
Mr. Okraku however assured he will collaborate with musicians and other stakeholders to increase patronage in the various stadiums.
” We will do whatever it takes to fill the stadiums, I assure you”.
Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo has admonished him to stay true to his own principles at the job.
“Stay true to your own principles. I think there are two types of people in this world. There are those who walk to the sound of other people’s drums and those who walk to the sound of their own drums. I much prefer those who walk to the sound of their own drums. So listen to yourself and make sure that the decisions that you are going to make are decisions that are in consonance with your understanding of what is best for Ghana football” the President said.
