Board member of Accra Hearts of Oak Frank Nelson has called on Ghanaians to be patient with Kurt Okraku in his bid to reform Ghana football after he was elected as the President of Ghana Football Association.

Kurt Okraku beat off competition from other five aspirant including George Afriyie and Nana Yaw Amponsah to secure his victory after three rounds to become the President of the Ghana FA for the next four years.

Speaking to footballmadeinghana.com after the election, the Hearts of Oak board member urged Ghanaians to be patient with the newly elected president as he will take time to get the association to work again.

“We have seen the light. Ghana has been able to elect president. This is a great news for Ghana football and Africa as a whole.

“George Afriyie showed maturity. It tells you maturity is in Ghana football. Ghana football won. We can all contribute and make Ghana football better.

“We should be patient with the President, because it will take time before everything will take off,” he added.

Frank Nelson also insisted Kurt Okraku is the best man for the job.

“Kurt has the ability, if you check his CV you will know he knows Ghana football. His experience on the past ExCo and as Dreams FC Executive Director will guide him to execute the job. I wish him and the EXCO well,” he noted.
