His comments come after Gyan in an interview with the BBC said he is eyeing a return to the Black Stars ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

According to the ace journalist, Gyan’s return would cause problems for the team because he is aware that the former and current captains are at odds.

“Another problem is that Dede and Asamoah are not on good terms. Dede is the captain now, if you add Asamoah to the team, it could bring issues. If we are going to send Gyan to the World Cup then we’ll have to speak to both of them. They laugh in public but it’s just for the camera,” Yeboah said in an interview.

“We should speak to them for them to appreciate that we’ll be sending them there in the interest of the country. What happened in the 2019 AFCON shows clearly that the two of them are not on good terms. Asamoah Gyan brings good vibes around the team but if he is to go, then we must speak to him and Dede to remind them that Ghana’s interest is supreme,” he said.

Gyan last appeared for Ghana in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt. Before the competition, Ayew replaced Gyan as the Black Stars captain.

The 37-year-old remains the country’s all-time top goalscorer with 51 goals.

Ghana has been housed in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay.

]]> Journalists who benefited from AFCON budget should keep quiet – Kwaku Yeboah https://www.adomonline.com/journalists-who-benefited-from-afcon-budget-should-keep-quiet-kwaku-yeboah/ Fri, 26 Jul 2019 06:26:27 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=1688247 The spokesperson of the Normalisation Committee, Dan Kwaku Yeboah has branded as hypocrites some journalists and officials who benefited from the $4.5million expended by the state on the Black Stars 2019 Africa Cup of Nations campaign.

According to him, the said journalists and some football officials who enjoyed their share of the money have now made u-turns and are criticising the budget.

Kweku Yeboah, who has been a vociferous critic of past AFCON budgets before his recent stint with the Normalisation Committee and Black Stars as spokesperson said all those who benefited must be quiet.

However, he maintained he received no winning bonuses during the tournament, adding that only per diems were paid to him.

Mr Kweku Yeboah said in the past when he criticised AFCON budgets, he declined monies from former Ghana Football Association (GFA) boss Kwesi Nyantakyi.

He also called for realistic criticisms of the 2019 AFCON budgets during a televised broadcast on Peace FM.

Budget beneficiaries

The Minister of Youth and Sports, Isaac Kwame Asiamah told Parliament on Wednesday that the state spent $4,564,532.00 during the competition.

He said the expenditure covered the playing body, the technical team, Members of the Parliament Select Committee on Youth and Sports and Culture and the Ghana League Clubs Association.

The remaining beneficiaries are the representatives of the Old Footballers Association, some staff of the Ghana Football Association, some staff of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, some members of the Ghana Supporters Union and journalists.

In this video, Dan Kwaku Yeboah suggests that some of the journalists criticizing the Sports Minister and NC benefited from the largesse so they should keep quiet.
