Aduana FC General Manager Takyi Arhin, popularly known as “Thunder”, has backed Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku to remain in office despite growing calls for his resignation.
Okraku is under increasing pressure following a series of disappointing results involving Ghana’s national teams.
The Black Stars failed to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and have made a poor start to the 2027 AFCON qualifiers, losing 2-0 to Côte d’Ivoire before suffering a 4-2 defeat to The Gambia.
Ghana has also struggled at the youth level, with the country failing to qualify for the FIFA World Cup at several juvenile levels in recent years.
However, speaking on Accra-based radio station Sporty FM, Takyi Arhin defended Okraku and criticised those calling for him to leave the GFA presidency.
“Anyone who wants to contest Kurt Okraku is welcome but I can assure you that it’ll be an exercise in futility.”
“If Kurt Okraku decides to contest, I’ll support his third term bid. I even want more people to join the race, so they’ll lose their votes.”
“A lot of people are sitting on the fence waiting for Kurt Okraku to fail so that they jump in. I just want to tell them that if they’ve not joined us, they’ll sit on the fence till thy kingdom come” Takyi Arhin said.
