Former Ghana Football Association presidential aspirant, George Afriyie, has revealed Kurt Okraku invited Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) President Amaju Pinnick to Ghana to convince not to file an injunction against the 2023 GFA elections.
Afriyie was among the nominees who file to contest Okraku for the presidency at the end of his first term.
However, the former GFA Vice President was disqualified from the race ahead of the elections.
In an interview on Asempa FM, he said he had plans of filing for an injunction to be placed on the elections.
“Kurt brought Amaju Pinnick to Ghana to speak to me to prevent me from placing an injunction on the elections,” he said.
Afriyie added he had no plans of seeing the Nigerian despite his arrival in Ghana after ignoring his calls.
However, he was urged by the Sports Minister, Mustapha Ussif, to honour his call.
Following Pinnick’s advice, Afriyie decided not to take legal action and instead headed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
