Former musician and Gomoa Central MP Kwame A-Plus has added his voice to the chorus of outrage directed at the Ghana Football Association following the Black Stars' 4-2 defeat to The Gambia in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Tuesday, September 27, 2026 was incorrect date, it was September 29. In a blunt Facebook post published the same day, A-Plus did not hold back, writing: "GFA is more useless to Ghana than pork is to Yakubu. Dissolve it."
The Black Stars' collapse against The Gambia has intensified calls for GFA President Kurt Okraku to resign. The match unfolded with Ghana appearing in full control after racing into a 2-0 lead at the Accra Sports Stadium, but The Gambia mounted a stunning comeback, netting four times to claim all three points and send shockwaves through the Ghanaian football community.
The defeat has left Ghana at the bottom of Group C without a single point from their opening two matches. The Black Stars previously fell 2-0 to Côte d'Ivoire in their opening qualifier. The frustration is compounded by the fact that Ghana failed to qualify for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco, making the current campaign a critical opportunity for redemption.
Sports broadcaster Daniel Koranteng publicly urged President John Mahama to step in and remove Okraku from his post following the defeat. Citi Sports also reported that demands for Okraku's resignation and the dissolution of the GFA have gathered momentum in the aftermath of the loss.
A-Plus's call is among the most sharply worded reactions to emerge, but it reflects a sentiment that appears to be spreading rapidly among football followers and public figures alike as pressure mounts on those running Ghanaian football. Ghana have recorded just one win in 11 matches and opened their qualifying campaign with a 2-0 defeat to Côte d'Ivoire.
Earlier, Carlos Queiroz, the Black Stars coach, acknowledged the team's challenges but rejected the suggestion that the squad itself was in crisis. The team now face added pressure to secure their first points and restore momentum in the 2027 AFCON qualifiers.
The Black Stars' next match will be crucial in determining their fate in the qualifiers. The team's poor performance has raised concerns about the state of Ghanaian football and the need for drastic action to restore the team's fortunes.
