Black Stars Captain Asamoah Gyan has said media reports which claim that he is a bank roller of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is “irresponsible journalism” motivated by a hate agenda against him.
“This only happens in a country where some journalists are wearing political colours and are blinded by politics to an extent that they have become heartless and do not care who they destroy just so they can achieve their agenda. Some of them have become mercenaries tasked by their paymasters to create hate for innocent people and I must say, they have become a danger to society; but when you point them out, society rather defends their irresponsible journalism.
“Asamoah Gyan himself has come out to state clearly that he is not apolitical and he does not fund any political party or politician. He has come out publicly to deny sponsoring anyone to import arms. He has expressed his dissatisfaction over the smear campaign. Yet the ’professional’ journalists behind the hate campaign would not retract, they would not apologize, they would not offer a simple rejoinder and their mother association – GJA – and the commission which regulates them, the NMC, are silently watching the continuing irresponsibility,” Samuel Anim Addo, Manager and Spokesperson for Asamoah Gyan, told NEWS-ONE.
The footballer himself took to his official twitter page to express his disappointment over the allegation that he is sponsoring politicians to import arms into the country.
“Journalism is a noble profession. Say no to irresponsible journalism…hate can’t win..Get a life and God will bless you.
“Say no to irresponsible journalism, the owners of Muntie Fm must call Mugabe to order..I’m a footballer and not a politician… I serve Ghana and not politicians nor parties. I don’t fund politics. There is more joy in charity and philanthropy and my works are my evidence,” Gyan fumed.
