Speaker of Parliament, Rt Hon Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin has urged parliamentarians to show leadership by purchasing a copy of each of the “LeGyandry” memoirs by Asamoah Gyan as a celebration of the football gem.
Speaking in Parliament, he said he is prepared to admit any statement brought to him in celebration of any of the icons in football at any time.
According to him, parliament must show leadership not just by words but rather deeds and that is why, he is calling on them to get a copy of each of Asamoah Gyan’s books because the money goes into his foundation to support the needy.
I want the maker of the statement to make sure that the 275 MPs get a copy of each of the LeGyandry memoirs, he said.
Legendary Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan on Saturday, April 30 hosted a star-studded event to launch his much-anticipated book titled ‘LeGyandary’.
The event was held at Accra’s plush Kempinski Hotel, with President Nana Akufo-Addo among the dignitaries in attendance to support Gyan, Ghana’s all-time top scorer with 51 goals in a record 107 appearances.
Former Ghanaian and African footballers present included Emmanuel Adebayor, El Hadji Diouf, the maestro Abedi Pele, Stephen Appiah, Samuel Osei Kuffour, Derek Boateng, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu, Fatau Dauda, Yussif Chibsah, Augustine Arhinful, and Anthony Baffoe.
The book was officially launched by President Akufo-Addo, who was the special guest of honor.
