‘FA President has four clubs; what do you think he would do?’ – Nana Baffour Awuah fires back
Speaking to Luv FM, Nana Baffour Awuah questioned the business interests surrounding football administration, claiming that the current GFA president presents a potential conflict of interest.
Manhyia South MP Nana Baffour Awuah has responded to criticism from Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku following a public spat over the state of Ghana football. The MP questioned Okraku's business interests, pointing out that Okraku is the president of four clubs, all of which are businesses. Awuah questioned what Okraku would do with those interests in mind.
The dispute stemmed from Awuah's call for reforms in Ghana football, which he accused the administration of being controlled by a "cabal". Okraku responded by criticizing Awuah's expertise, asking how many pitches he had constructed for his constituents in Manhyia South. Awuah countered by stating that his constituency has three AstroTurf pitches and argued that the conversation should focus on broader challenges facing Ghanaian football, including player opportunities and selection into the national team.
Awuah also expressed concern over the decline of players like Philemon Baffour, who once played for the Black Stars but has since lost interest in football.
