“I am deeply humbled and truly appreciate the overwhelming support and encouragement from our staff. This victory is not just mine but a reflection of the collective efforts of everyone involved in Ghanaian football.”
Okraku also acknowledged the contributions of past GFA leaders, particularly Kwesi Nyantakyi, for his advice and encouragement throughout the journey.
“I took the opportunity to acknowledge the immense contributions of my predecessors, particularly, former GFA boss, President Kwesi Nyantakyi for his advise, support and encouragement every step of the way.
