Confidence in Okraku among key stakeholders governing Ghanaian football.

With Okraku also serving as CAF vice-president, scrutiny over his administration is unlikely to ease, and uncertainty continues to surround the Black Stars. The GFA president still has influential voices ready to defend his record in the Ghana football institution.
