Award-winning sports broadcaster, Patrick Osei Agyemang, popularly known as Countryman Songo has slammed the Ghana Football Association [GFA], President, Kurt Okraku after visiting Mohammed Salisu.

Mr. Okraku who has been in Europe visited the Southampton centre back to discuss the possibility of playing for the national team.

According to the ‘Fire-for-Fire’ host, Mr. Okraku’s meeting with Salisu was unwarranted, adding that, such meeting should be the preserve of the national team coach.

“When was the last time the Black Stars won a match, you celebrate things you don’t have to celebrate. Is the FA President the one to call players?”, he quizzed.
