After years of feeling disrespected, former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has found peace following his recent recognition on the floor of Parliament.
Gyan expressed his surprise and gratitude for the country's celebration of his achievements during a courtesy visit to Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh.
Gyan, who recently announced his retirement from professional football, concluded his illustrious two-decade career on a high note. With 51 goals in 109 appearances, he holds the record as Ghana's all-time top scorer and led Africa's goal-scoring charts at the World Cup with six goals.
Members of the Ghanaian Parliament took the opportunity to individually acknowledge the former goal poacher, leaving Gyan feeling deeply honored by their gestures.
He expressed his newfound sense of appreciation and contentment, recognizing the significance of the parliamentary recognition.
In his discussion with Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh, Gyan shared his perspective, stating, “Before I’d say I had not been celebrated enough, because there were lots of disrespect and I feel like I am one of those guys who put Ghana on the map, the masses can confirm that but seeing what went on in Parliament, I am now beginning to understand, I’m beginning to feel appreciated by Ghanaians.
“I don’t really care about what people say but Parliament has confirmed and I’m sure the masses also know in their heart that I should be celebrated. I always say the numbers don’t lie”, Asamoah Gyan said.
