Kofi Manu “Blue Boy” Calls for Kurt Okraku’s Resignation

Outspoken football administrator Kofi Manu, popularly known as “Blue Boy,” has strongly criticized Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku, questioning his leadership and decision-making.

Kofi Manu’s comments add to growing discontent among football stakeholders and fans, who have voiced frustration over the state of Ghanaian football under the current administration.

In an interview with Asempa FM, Manu expressed doubts about the transparency surrounding the recent presentation of buses to clubs and called for Okraku’s resignation.

“First of all, as an Association, are we aware of the money involved in the purchase of the buses? How did he (Kurt Okraku) get approval to buy the buses?” Manu asked, raising concerns about the financial and procedural aspects of the initiative.

Manu accused the GFA President of using the bus distribution as a distraction from the Black Stars’ disappointing performance in the recently concluded Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

“Running the FA is not about social media. Because the Black Stars performed abysmally, he wanted to use the presentation of the buses to suppress it, but it didn’t work,” Manu stated.

He went on to deliver a blunt assessment of Okraku’s tenure: “Kurt Okraku has performed badly as an FA President. He needs to resign if he has a conscience. For the first time in 20 years, you are not able to qualify to the AFCON, who resigns first?” He questioned.
