Black Stars Head Coach, Otto Addo, has thrown his support behind Ghana FA President, Kurt Okraku, after the latter received backlash for his speech at the team’s dinner on Tuesday night.
Kurt Okraku decided to add his voice the frustration towards Ghana’s last outing against Niger, where he lashed out at the players for their lax attitude in the game.
'Four-five players in the Niger squad that drew against Ghana are not good enough to play for my club'

Okraku also threatened to assist Otto Addo in dropping players who do not show desire to wear the Ghana shirt.
The comments were frowned upon by a large section of fans, but Otto Addo believes Okraku’s comments were necessary.
“I think it’s good. Sometimes you need another person to their voice to what has already been said.
“I’ve spoken to the players and so have the technical staff,” he said.
Ghana will be looking to claim all three points against Sudan on Thursday in order to breathe life back into their AFCON qualifying campaign.
