Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) vice president, George Afriyie, says Kurt Okraku, who is the GFA boss is only creating wealth for his club, Dreams FC.
Both Mr Afriyie and Mr Okraku both filed their nominations to contest for the GFA presidency, with the Elective Congress scheduled for September 27 at the Redaach Memorial Hotel in Tamale.
Addressing his plans for the campaign and potential presidency, Mr Afriyie asserted, “Today I have filed my nominations. In the coming days, we will be educating our football people, those who are investing in the game. We will tell you every truth.”
He continued, “You are made to believe Kurt Okraku is making wealth for all. It is a good thing, but the truth is he is making wealth for Dreams FC. Shine your eyes,” Afriyie asserted.
He also highlighted the potential conflict of interest arising from Okraku’s purported focus on promoting the financial prosperity of Dreams FC over other prominent clubs such as Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.
“If three of his team members make it to the World Cup and each gets $100,000, how much are they making? What about Hearts of Oak, Asante Kotoko, and other clubs?”.
Mr Afriyie called for transparency and equitable distribution of resources among all participating clubs, underscoring the importance of nurturing a fair playing field for the entire Ghanaian football landscape.
Amidst these claims and counterclaims, Kurt Okraku, the incumbent President of the GFA, has officially announced his candidacy for a second term in the forthcoming GFA elections.
