Ghanaians urged to have patience with new Okraku-led Ghana FA administration

Hearts of Oak board member Frank Nelson Nwokolo has called on Ghanaians to exercise patience with new Football Association president Kurt Okraku.

Okraku was sworn in as new leader of the West African nation's football governing body after beating five other candidates in a keenly-contested election on Friday.

He now occupies the top GFA seat which has been vacant since June 2018 due to a corruption and match-fixing scandal.

"We have seen the light. Ghana has been able to elect the president. This is great news for Ghana football and Africa as a whole," Nelson said, as reported by Footballghana.
