“I laughed when I saw George Afriyie’s video; he’s not a threat to Kurt Okraku” – Albert Commey

 
Popular football administrator Albert Aryeetey Commey has stated emphatically that he is not worried about the perceived threat that George Afriyie poses to Kurt Okraku’s chances of retaining the Ghana Football Association presidential position.

According to the former Aduana Stars CEO, Afriyie is no match for Okraku because he has done nothing to merit such a role, noting he failed in every opportunity he got under Kwesi Nysntakyi.

“I saw that tape, and I laughed. I laughed because I want him to get the opportunity one day and see what he can do because I have worked with him and in the four years he had to be the vice president of the GFA, he should have shown everybody what he is capable of doing,” he told Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM.

“I remember Mr. Nyantakyi giving him the opportunity to organize the WAFU tournament, and he should tell us what happened. He is my friend, so I do not want to say much.

“He is no threat to Kurt Okraku. Even the devil has a supporter, so he can have people that follow him.”

George Afriyie announced on Sunday his intention to run in the 2023 presidential elections of the local football governing body.

In his announcement, Afriyie emphasized the need to break free from repetitive mistakes and adopt a practical approach to problem-solving.

He was GFA’s Vice President from 2015 to 2018.

The GFA has yet to announce the roadmap for the next GFA elections, although Kurt Okraku’s tenure will end in October.

However, the association is scheduled to hold its 29th Ordinary Congress on Monday, July 10, 2023, at the Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi.

It is expected that the roadmap for the election will be released.
