Prosper Harrison Addo, the General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has clarified the role of Michael Osekre, a close associate of GFA President Kurt Okraku, amidst speculation about his position within the administration.
Despite Osekre's frequent travels with various national teams and his close association with Okraku, Addo clarified that Osekre does not hold any official position at the GFA. Instead, Osekre acts as an adviser to Kurt Okraku and provides guidance to the GFA president.
"Michael Osekre does not hold any official position at the Ghana Football Association," he told Accra-based Asaase Radio.
"Everywhere, we have people who advise the FA and Michael Osekre is just an adviser to Kurt Okraku."
Regarding Osekre's expenses during his travels, Addo mentioned that sometimes Osekre covers his own expenses, while other times the Football Association may provide financial support. However, it is important to note that Osekre's role remains that of an adviser to the GFA president.
"There are some travels he takes charge of the expenses and sometimes the Football Association pays but he is just an adviser to the FA boss (Kurt Okraku)."
Michael Osekre is also known as the owner and financier of Vision FC, a Division One League club in Ghana.
