If Kurt has risen to that level, it will be very prudent for Ghanaians to unite and support him so we can get to the level, we were in the past”
“After Anas episode, Ghana has struggled with officiating because we’ve been painted of influencing referees but imagine if we get some of our leaders holding key positions in world football, I think our game will rise”

“Apart from the good job Kurt is doing, for geo-political issues, it will be very important for us give him another term as Ghana FA President. We have to stabilize the football industry, and for the interest of Ghana football alone, Kurt has to go for another term”
