He expressed gratitude towards the delegates who rallied behind his nomination by attending the filing ceremony at the FA headquarters on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGhana football has suffered. Ghana football has struggled but Ghana football is on the rise. Ghana football, most importantly, is in safe hands,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe safe hand is the one addressing all of you. The trusted leader is the one speaking to all of you. People believe in leadership and trust in leadership. Most importantly, the trust in the vision of the leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re here today to say one thing: we are together. We\u2019re together in good times. We\u2019re together in bad times. Our game will go through bad times but our game will go through a lot of good times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have to come together as one family. That is the essence of being in football. My hands are open and I\u2019ll welcome other minds at all times because it is the strength that I pick from the other minds that make this family a unique and strong family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFrom the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all the Women Premier League clubs, Premier League clubs, Division One League clubs, Regional Football Associations and all constituent bodies for your undiluted support behind this mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe pledge as we have shown today is that we are firmly committed to develop football, we invite everybody who believes in this vision and has the right level of skill set and everybody who is committed and willing to be part of this agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGhana football, again, is in safe hands,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Kurt Okraku is however expected to face a tough competition from former Ghana Football Association (GFA) vice president, George Afriyie who has also filed his nomination to contest for the presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
