Andre Ayew dedicates Ghana’s win over Sudan to late President Jerry John Rawlings
Ghana Black Stars captain Andre Ayew has dedicated the 2-0 win over Sudan in 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier to late Ghana President Jerry John Rawlings.
The former Ghanaian leader passed away on Thursday, hours before the team battled the Falcons of Jediane at the Cape Coast stadium.
And the Swansea City star, who stole the show with two stupendous strikes, has paid glowing tribute to the iconic and enigmatic former President.
He has dedicated the team’s win in honour of the former first gentleman of Ghana.
“I think we fought hard to get a win in honour of His Excellency J.J Rawlings. We know the history and his contribution to the growth of Ghana so the win is dedicated to him” Ayew said
Rawlings is said to have passed on at the nation’s premier hospital, the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
Jerry Rawlings had been on admission at the hospital for about a week for an undisclosed ailment.
