'Step down if you can't fix the football crisis' - Kwadaso MP urges GFA boss

The Member of Parliament for the Kwadaso Constituency, Professor Kingsley Nyarko, has urged GFA President Kurt Edwin Okraku to resign immediately if he lacks the capacity to rescue Ghana football from its current state of collapse.

Fuming over the Black Stars' humiliating exit from the ongoing FIFA World Cup, the outspoken legislator laid the blame for the national team's decline squarely at the doorstep of the GFA's leadership, accusing them of steering the nation's favourite sport into dangerous, unproductive waters.

"If Kurt Okraku cannot improve upon the local team and our football structures, then he has no business being the GFA boss," Professor Nyarko said.

Addressing journalists on the national team's painful World Cup elimination, Professor Kingsley Nyarko expressed deep disbelief that a nation once celebrated globally for producing lethal, world-class strikers now struggles to find a single reliable goalscorer.

He strongly rejected any claims that Ghana is experiencing a drought of raw football talent, pointing instead to systemic corruption, bias and questionable player selection policies within the GFA.

"Nobody can tell me that we don't have strikers in this country," he argued passionately.

According to him, the GFA has abandoned the core principles of fairness, meritocracy and honesty in its call-ups. He insisted that highly deserving, talented local players are continuously being sidelined in favour of personal interests, a practice for which the entire nation continues to pay with embarrassing performances on the international stage.

Professor Nyarko warned that the current state of Ghana football is entirely unacceptable and requires immediate, radical reforms before the country's rich sporting heritage is completely destroyed.
