Asamoah Gyan 👑🇬🇭
My purpose in the game is fulfilled ⭐️
I lived out my childhood dreams, played on the biggest stages, won the biggest trophies. Grateful to God for all of it.
To all my fans, the clubs, my teammates and my family: this will forever be ours. Thank you.
The mission is complete. Now I step into my next calling.
More of the journey to come.
Love,
Divock Origi
We kept our promise.
No Ghanaian has been abandoned in harm's way.
About a thousand Ghanaians have now been evacuated from South Africa by the Government of Ghana following the latest wave of xenophobic attacks.
Last night, it was a profound honour to welcome our fellow nationals with love, warmth and the pride of being a servant leader in a great country which does not forsake our citizens, particularly in time of distress.
But our work is far from over — we shall ensure reintegration with dignity, medical and psychosocial support, pursue compensation for those who have left properties and businesses behind, secure jobs for folks able to work and intensify our efforts towards achieving Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's Pan-African dream of genuine African integration.
I commend dedicated staff of the Foreign Ministry; our High Commission in Pretoria; colleague ministers; senior government officials; partner state institutions including GAF, GACL, GCAA, NADMO, GIS, GPS; the IOM; Ethiopian Airlines and the media for the flawless and efficient execution.
We are grateful to Ghanaian CEOs for their remarkable partnership with us aimed at creating employment opportunities for our returning nationals.
God bless President John Mahama for his inspiring and outstanding leadership and guidance.
The Mahama Administration shall continue to defend the rights of our cherished citizens, serve with compassion and safeguard the welfare of ALL GHANAIANS.
For God and Country 🇬🇭 🙏🏾
