Liar! – Football fans blast Oduro Sarfo over Kurt Okraku’s health claim

Some football fanatics on social media have criticized a member of the Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Nana Oduro Sarfo, for claiming that President of the GFA, Kurt Okraku, is indisposed, hence his absence from public activities.

Sarfo noted that Okraku is aware of the recent happenings in football in the country, especially the tragic demise of Asante Kotoko fan Francis Yaw Frimpong, also known as Pooley.

Speaking during the GFA’s visit to Kotoko officials, Oduro Sarfo disclosed that Okraku is not in Ghana and would visit the club when he returns from abroad.

“We have engaged him on the phone, and we would not want to go into the details of the conversation. Since the incident happened, most people have not seen Kurt publicly. He is unwell and currently not in the country.

“When I meet Nana, I can tell him more about it. He would have been here if there was nothing wrong. When he recovers, he will be here to engage the Kotoko family and everyone,” he stated.

In reaction to the comment, some social media users accused the GFA Exco member of lying about Okraku’s health status to shield him from blame.

Others described him as a hypocrite who is allowing the GFA to use him to redeem their image in light of the vehement criticisms.

Some called on Okraku to address the nation personally instead of using GFA officials to take key decisions while football in the country is in crisis.
