Who Will Reject Such Offer? – Asamoah Gyan Open To Bawumia’s Running Mate Role

Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has expressed his willingness to accept an offer to serve as running mate to the Flagbearer of NPP and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia if such an opportunity arises.

Speaking on Onua TV, Gyan stated that being offered such an “honour” would be difficult to turn down, although he acknowledged that the speculation surrounding this possibility was merely rumour.

Gyan clarified that while he remains committed to leveraging his experience and knowledge for the advancement of sports in the country, there has been no official offer extended to him to partner with Dr Bawumia.

“The whole Member of Parliament issue began a very long time ago, and people kept on pushing it for about a decade now. Even in my playing days, these offers were always brought up to the table. Even my dad was aware of it. Now I’m not playing and I’m back home and if I want to do it, of course I can do it,” he told Captain Smart.

“Running mate for Bawumia? Hahaha, I haven’t heard any of that, you’re the one saying it haha. I know nothing of the sort. Is that where you guys are taking me now?”

Currently serving as the chairman of the Sports Sub-Committee of Dr Bawumia’s manifesto committee, Gyan is expected to play a pivotal role in formulating strategic sports policies for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the December 7 elections.

As part of his efforts to promote sports development, Gyan has launched the All Regional Games, an inaugural multi-sport competition aimed at discovering and nurturing sports talents across the country.

A regional tour is slated to commence on Tuesday, April 16, and will run until next month in preparation for the national championships.
