I work with parties in power - Asamoah Gyan

Contrary to claims that captain of the Ghana Black Stars, Asamoah Gyan, is hobnobbing with the opposition New Patriotic Party in a bid to topple the John Mahama government, the Shanghai SIPG striker says he works only with parties in government.

While parrying allegations that he is in bed with Nana Akufo-Addo and his NPP, Asamoah stated that he does not work with parties in opposition.

Speaking on Accra-based Hot Fm, monitored by GhanaPoliticsonline.com, the Black Stars captain cum musician stated, "I don’t support any political party not just me but all the black stars players work with any elected president."

According to him, he serves only Ghana and not politicians, adding that the only organization he is committing funds to is philanthropic work.

Host of Muntie Fm’s Pampaso socio-political programme, Mugabe Maase, last Monday called on Asamoah Gyan to responds to rumors that he has promised to fund the 2016 campaign of Nana Akufo-Addo.

But in swift riposte via twitter, the Black Stars skipper Asamoah Gyan who refuted the allegation, “Say no to irresponsible journalism, the owners/managers of Muntie fm must call Mugabe to order. I’m a footballer and not a politician..”

He added that, he had contacted his lawyers and that Mugabe should prepare to meet him in court.
