Kennedy Agyapong played a key role in Inaki Williams’ decision to play for Ghana – Afena-Gyan’s Uncle Reveals
Christian Abrefa Gyan, the uncle of Ghanaian footballer Felix Afena-Gyan, has outlined the part that NPP presidential candidate Kennedy Agyapong played in the country’s desire to have Inaki Williams swear allegiance to Ghana.
Abrefa Gyan, who claims to be Afena-Gyan’s straight sibling, stated that Kennedy Agyapong was instrumental in obtaining Inaki to play for Ghana.
According to Abrefa Gyan, Inaki Williams’ mother had a strong connection with Kennedy Agyapong and served as a channel for persuading the Athletic Bilbao forward.
“I’m the chairman for Kennedy Agyapong so for the past five years, nobody has campaigned for Kennedy Agyapong more than me. I’m also close to the Inaki family. Inaki’s mother and parents are members of the group so I had to convince the mother to allow him play for Ghana.
“I realize that the woman liked Kennedy Agyapong so if the FA went through him, Inaki would agree to play for Black Stars. Lo and behold when Kennedy Agyapong stepped in, it worked, he said on Pure FM.
Inaki Williams declared his desire to represent Ghana on the world arena in July 2022.
“Every step we take forward has its own meaning. An evolution. A glance into the future leaves a trace itself. A legacy. My parents have raised me with values based on humility, respect, and love,” he said.
“They have taught me to embrace life. In that constant quest to continue growing and working upon the pursuit of evolving personally and professionally as an individual.
“That’s why I feel the moment has come for me to find my origins within myself and with Africa and Ghana which means so much to me and my family. I want to return a small part of everything it has given to us because Ghana has played a significant part in becoming who I am as a person, as a son, and as a brother.”
Following his move, Inaki Williams was named to Ghana’s World Cup roster and appeared in all three matches.
The forward has played eight matches for Ghana since the move but has yet to score.
