South Dayi MP apologises to Asamoah Gyan
The Member of Parliament for South Dayi, Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor, has issued an apology to former Ghana international, Asamoah Gyan, for suggesting that Gyan intentionally missed a penalty in 2010 to make the NDC unpopular.
Dafeamekpor had previously implied that Gyan’s missed penalty against Uruguay in the 2010 FIFA World Cup was due to his political affiliation with the NPP. However, following criticism for his comments, Dafeamekpor has apologized to Gyan.
In a statement on his X page, Dafeamekpor expressed regret for his remarks and apologized to Gyan. Gyan, on the other hand, stated that he is not bothered by criticism for joining the NPP campaign team for the 2024 elections.
There is a good reason why you should support the African Editors. Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we keep our journalism open for everyone to read, including in Ghana. If this is you, please continue to read for free. But if you are able to, then there are three good reasons to support us today.
1. Our quality, journalism is a scrutinising force at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more.
2. We are independent and have no billionaire owner pulling the strings, so your money directly powers our reporting.
3. It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this message.
