[Felix Romark @FelixRomark]

The two-term limit for the GFA Presidency was introduced to stop any single individual from becoming all-powerful and ruling the game indefinitely.

Term limits exist to protect institutions from the corrosive effects of prolonged power: the risk of patronage networks replacing merit, accountability fading into familiarity, and fresh ideas being suffocated by entrenched interests.

In football, where vast sums of money, national prestige, and passionate public emotion are involved, such protections are especially vital. They ensure periodic renewal, guard against corruption, and remind leaders that the association belongs to Ghanaian football, not to any individual.

Yet just six years after these reforms were put in place after normalization , that foundational work has been effectively dismantled. The rules designed to promote institutional health and prevent perpetual rule have been rewritten or circumvented, all to clear the path for a third term.

Over 4,000 people have signed our petition, and we have less than 10% to go before reaching our target.

Once we achieve it, we will announce our next lawful and peaceful course of action. The level of public support for accountability and reform in Ghana football is clear, and our next move will demonstrate the determination of thousands of football supporters across the country.

Mr. Kurt Okraku and the Executive Council Members should understand that many Ghanaians are calling for transparency, accountability, and meaningful change. The momentum is growing, and the next phase of this campaign will come as a significant surprise.

Our movement remains committed to peaceful, lawful, and democratic action.

Ghana Football does not any political colours we will rescue our football ⚽⚽⚽

I saw this and I totally agree. He has nothing to offer Gh football . Just leave honourably when your term of office is due. If you couldn't do it in 8 years , surely an extra 4 years won't make any difference. Just leave. We are begging you Leave if you love Gh. Just leave

Saw this somewhere and I’m reposting because I support the message.

Football is one of the very few activities that unites us a people. We shouldn’t ruin it for the interest of a select few.

If you agree, save the poster and repost with #KurtOkrakuOut

🚨🗣️Wayne Rooney on Bruno Fernandes: “If you are playing Cristiano Ronaldo, you have to USE HIM.

The ball could have been put in the box here, from Bruno but he REFUSED to put it in.

If you play him, you have to USE HIM, on set pieces he is still a MASSIVE THREAT for Portugal.

Don't play him the ball 30 yards from the goal, that's not his strength anymore.

Get to him into the penalty area where he is still EFFECTIVE.”

🥇 Most international goals (146)
🥇 Most international appearances (233)

THANK YOU, THOMAS PARTEY. 👏🇬🇭❤️

Ghana's World Cup journey is over, but Thomas Partey's resilience deserves to be recognised.

Amid his ongoing court case, relentless scrutiny, loud boos inside stadiums, intense criticism in sections of the English media, Canada visa issues that prevented him from featuring in the match in Toronto, and constant abuse on social media, Partey never allowed the noise to distract him. He played Ghana's matches as if his life depended on it.

While many had already judged him before the legal process had run its course, he remained focused on one thing: representing Ghana with commitment and professionalism.

Whatever your opinion, his ability to block out the pressure and keep performing for the Black Stars throughout the tournament was remarkable.

Respect for the fight. 🇬🇭❤️

This is Heartbreaking Story 💔💔💔......Ridge Hospital Must Sit Up.

Folks, last night I lost my wife at Ridge Hospital!’
My wife checked in at the hospital Sunday evening. She had been due for surgery Monday morning.

We agreed that I would return to the hospital in the afternoon when she would have returned from the theater.
That’s how it happened. I returned to her. She narrated the experience to me. I stayed with her till 8pm when the orderly came to ask me to leave.

When I returned the next morning, my wife had taken a turn for the worst. She was sweating profusely and was in severe pain. The change was really dramatic.

I asked her if the doctor had seen her. She said no but the nurse had given her medication earlier on. She asked me to take her to the washroom. By this time she was screaming in pain.
I managed to sit her on the WC. But as she attempted to relieve herself she suddenly went limp and crumbled onto the floor. She was unconscious.

I rushed out to seek help. A couple of nurses came in to help. She regained consciousness but she was in a terrible shape.
The next one hour was hell as there was no doctor immediately available.
After about an hour the doctor arrived. He examined my wife and asked the nurse what medication had been administered. The nurse mentioned something I don’t remember. The doctor asked if she was sure and she said yes.
The doctor then went through my wife’s folder for a few minutes.

« But I didn’t prescribe that », he said.

My heart missed a beat.

There was a back and forth between the doctor and the nurse, which attracted two other nurses.
One of the new entrants said yes, he the doctor didn’t prescribe it but another doctor did so later.

The doctor said he was going to call him right now. He walked out the room followed by the nurses.

I followed them into the lobby.

He picked the phone and called someone. From the conversation, it was clear that the other doctor had promptly admitted to prescribing the drug.

Folks, I swear by my father’s grave that my wife’s doctor said something like this.

“ I can’t believe you have done this again. This is the second time. This woman’s case is similar to the other one but you have done it again”.

Folks, at this point I started feeling very cold.

What happened next is the reason I am writing this. But for it I would never share this on social media.
As our doctor was scolding the other doctor, they nurses were laughing heartily. Even the doctor was scolding his colleague somehow jokingly.

Yes, my wife lay dying and the nurses were laughing that a doctor had apparently prescribed the wrong medication for her. I was not angry and I was not mad.

I just felt cold. Very cold.

A lot happened subsequently as they tried to save her. They prescribed some drugs which I bought. Then they prescribed some more drugs which I bought. Then they prescribed more. Then they wanted a test done which we did. Earlier, my sister-in-law who had held the fort while I went to see the kids had also been made to buy drugs.

In the end I was left alone with my wife.

At 8 pm the orderly came to ask me to leave.
I drove home filled with a huge feeling of emptiness. I could not sleep. I tossed around in bed the whole night. At around 4 am I fell asleep.

My sister-in-law was to take up the relay this morning. I was to go and teach my students and then return to replace her. We took turns taking care of my wife.
My sister-in-law called me at 6 am which is the visiting time at the hospital.

I had overslept.
“Brother Imma, are you coming? The doctors want to see you immediately”.

“I am on my way”, I lied. I hurriedly jumped into a crumpled jeans and an old Lacoste. I did not bath. I did not brush my teeth. I don’t how I drove to Ridge Hospital. My wife died at 11 pm last night, three hours after I left her.
A lady in the ward told me she collapsed and died. Just like that.
By the way, my sister-in-law told me that when she got to the ward this morning she overheard doctors and nurses arguing over “wrong medication”
I am not angry. I am sad. Deeply sad. Indescribably sad.

Folks, let’s be clear. I have no evidence that the wrong medication killed my wife. I have requested for an autopsy.

I also appreciate the efforts made by some of the nurses to save the life of my wife. One particular nurse was very kind to me and I pray God’s blessings on her.

What I cannot accept, and why I am writing this, is that health workers find it funny that the wrong medication had apparently been administered to my wife. They were laughing. It was a joke. My wife’s life was a joke.

My wife heard the whole story unfold. How did she feel lying there listening?
I kept thinking “Is my wife’s life worth so little”?
Is that all she is worth? Can’t they see she is my wife? Can’t they see me standing there listening to them?

Now I have been thinking. I am a senior public servant, the head of a public tertiary institution. If this happened to me then I shudder to think of what can happen to an ordinary person in our country.

Folks, I am not courting sympathy. I have thought carefully before posting this.

Here is the thing:
Nobody, absolutely nobody deserves to experience this. It falls far below any idea of human decency. This should never happen again.

That is why I am calling out Ridge Hospital.

I am asking you a special favor. Please, help me call out Ridge Hospital.

It is me today. It could be you tomorrow.
Please, share my post again and again till it gets to the authorities of Ridge Hospital.

Hopefully they will sit up. Hopefully they will stop treating human life like statistics. Hopefully, they will understand that every patient is a person, a wife, a husband, a mother, a father, a brother, a sister, a son, a daughter, a cousin, a grandmother and a father that is dearly beloved by someone.

Thank you.

It’s been 6 years, no justice.
