The football association boss has rejected suggestions that he should vacate his position after the Black Stars disappointing display at the Afcon
Ghana Football Association president Kurt Okraku has insisted that he will not resign from his position despite call from a section of Ghanaians.
The FA boss has come under intense pressure after Ghana failed to progress from their group at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. The Black Stars picked just a point as they were defeated by minnows Comoros as well as Morocco and could only pick a draw against Gabon.
The results means that Ghana experienced their worse ever Afcon participation since 1963.
“I don’t think it [resignation] is a topic that we should discuss,” Kurt Okraku told Asempa FM.
“In 2006, we exited at the group phase and we never called for the heads of the people in charge.
“We have played in two finals and after failing to win the trophy nobody called for the exit of people.
“I know people are angry by the performance of the team but I don’t think asking me to resign is the right thing but we have to stick together and fix the situation,” he added.
Okraku was elected as Ghana FA president in 2019 to replace Kwesi Nyantakyi who was banned from football after being found guilty of bribery and corruption following an investigation by undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
