Former Ghanaian captain Asamoah Gyan has shrugged off public scrutiny regarding his recent appointment to serve on Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia’s 2024 campaign team.
Gyan, appointed to the Manifesto Committee of the New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer for the upcoming elections, will spearhead the “Youth and Sports” manifesto sub-committee, actively advocating for the sports aspect of Dr. Bawumia’s manifesto upon completion.
Despite mixed reactions from Ghanaians, with some questioning the former Sunderland player’s involvement, Gyan remains resolute.
“They have their own opinions,” Gyan remarked during the inauguration of the NPP’s Campaign Team for the 2024 general elections at Alisa Hotel.
“I have been there [before]. I have been to Stadia, been booed in front of 80,000 people, I am used to it.”
“At the end of the day, the work shows. Sometimes, you go to the enemy’s territory and you come out with applause. I have confidence in myself and I know what I can do to help. I am here to help because of my 20 years of experience. I can’t just sit at home and keep it. I have to share with the new generation to benefit from it.”
“At the end of the day when everything is said and done, we see what we did or what we couldn’t do. The criticisms will come. It is also good for me personally and for my team to push harder…”
The committee’s mission includes conducting a comprehensive review of the party’s previous manifestos from the 2016 and 2020 elections.
