President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku says the South African Football Association (SAFA) boss, Danny Jordaan cannot drag Dr. Patrice Motsepe, the head of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), into their dispute with Ghana following the Black Stars’ win in the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers last Sunday.
The GFA is not taking the accusations of match-fixing levelled at them lightly after SAFA took the matter to FIFA, who have commenced investigations.
In a press conference organised on Wednesday, November 17, SAFA boss, Danny Jordaan stated they had consulted CAF President, Motsepe after the Ghana game.
“Even though the CAF President is from South Africa, we don’t want to be opportunists and use him but of course we called him right after the game and he assisted us but we are not using him in all this,” Danny Jordaan said.
It is on the back of this that GFA President said that he does not expect the CAF boss to take sides in the matter at hand.
“I want to tell Jordaan, that he cannot drag the president of the Confederation of African Football [Patrice Motsepe] into this. Motsepe is the president of CAF and not the president of SAFA. He doesn’t call the shots at SAFA – we voted for Motsepe to represent a truly democratic African Confederation Football and not to take sides.”
“And for Motsepe, I know he will never take sides, and I don’t expect him to take sides,” the Kurt Okraku added.
