Ghanaian
sports
journalist
Jeffrey
Amoah
has
fired
Asamoah
Gyan
for
allowing
politics
to
stain
his
hard-earned
reputation
and
his
legacy
in
the
country.
Jeffrey
Amoah
stated
that
during
election
periods
like
this,
the
political
parties
turned
to
lure
celebrities
to
their
side
and
use
them
to
campaign
for
votes
and
if
one
is
not
sharp,
they
would
ruin
their
reputation.
Citing
an
example
to
back
his
claim
he
used
Asamoah
Gyan
saying
now
the
once-renowned
footballer
has
soiled
his
legacy
after
affiliating
himself
to
the
NPP.
“The
data
and
statistics
online
show
that
the
opposition
party
has
a
higher
chance
of
winning
this
upcoming
election.
This
has
caused
some
tension
so
political
parties
are
trying
every
means
to
lure
celebrities
and
public
figures
to
their
side
to
campaign
for
them.
So
if
any
celebrity
allows
himself
to
be
used,
he
or
she
will
have
regrets
like
Asamoah
Gyan.
His
legacy
has
dropped
and
stained
because
there
were
some
discrepancies
in
the
letter
he
released
recently”,
he
observed
Asamoah
Gyan
last
week
pulled
a
quick
one
on
Ghanaians
when
he
released
a
statement
disassociating
himself
from
any
political
party
in
the
country
after
he
had
earlier
endorsed
the
NPP
led
by
Dr
Bawumia.
In
Asamoah
Gyan’s
statement,
he
failed
to
state
the
exact
reason
why
he
no
longer
wanted
to
be
affiliated
with
any
political
party.
Hours
later
it
emerged
that
the
reason
for
his
statement
had
to
do
with
some
money
he
was
supposed
to
receive
from
the
party
but
ended
up
in
the
hands
of
another
person
with
video
evidence
even
surfacing
on
social
media.
