According to Nyaho-Tamakloe, Okraku has shown in the last four years that when given another term in office, he will be able to transform Ghana football to the highest level.

“I want to endorse Kurt Okraku for the upcoming GFA elections and my reasons are very simple. We came out of very turbulent waters not long ago. The FA was in the hands of a group appointed by FIFA and Kurt has been able to stabilize things”, the former FA President said.

“He [Okraku] has been able to come out with some projects and I believe if he’s given the opportunity, he will take the FA far”, he added.

Nyaho-Tamakloe together with Alhaji Akambi are two persons from the camp Hearts of Oak board to openly endorse Kurt Okraku as the right man for the job.

Kurt Okraku will face keen competition from George Afriyie who lost the battle to Okraku four years ago.
