Asamoah Gyan, the former captain of the Black Stars, has gained notice after it was revealed that he almost smacked the brother in law of Sammy Awuku, the National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), in a video that went viral.
According to reports, the altercation happened during a meeting when it was claimed that Awuku’s cousin was withholding $3 million, which was allegedly intended for Gyan’s involvement in the Bawumia campaign.
The altercation seemed to get more intense, and Gyan almost lost control of his body.
Though the specifics of the encounter are still unknown, there has been a lot of online discussion about it.
Asamoah Gyan, meantime, has openly broken ties with the New Patriotic Party.
Rumor has it that this is the reason he left the NPP.
Ghana’s all-time top scorer announced his decision to quit politics in a message that was uploaded to his X (formerly Twitter) account.
He apologized for his previous political activity and acknowledged that it prevented him from providing complete support for the nation’s youth.
Gyan highlighted his increased commitment to humanitarian work, especially with the Asamoah Gyan Foundation, which works to empower young people in Ghana.
With this choice, the former football player is making a big change in direction. He wants to focus his energies on non-political projects that will help the future generation.
