Murtala Mohammed, the member of parliament for Tamale Central, has pleaded with Ghanaians to show Andre Dede Ayew some mercy.
The MP has urged Ghanaians to refrain from condemning Dede Ayew for missing the penalty in the World Cup match against Uruguay.
Murtala Mohammed claims that Dede Ayew is being treated unfairly by Ghanaians because he has been one of the top players thus far.
“Ghanaians have been unfair to Dede, this gentleman has been working, there is no player in the Black Stars who has killed himself for the Black Stars than Dede. They hated his father and they are doing that to his son.
“This guy has dedicated himself to the Black Stars. Tell me which Black Stars player has sacrificed himself for the team more than Dede,” he said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, December 3.
He stressed, “I am not just defending Dede, I will defend anyone at any time, I defended Asamoah Gyan.”
In the sixteenth round, the Black Stars were eliminated. Uruguay scored two goals, but they were unable to advance because South Korea defeated Portugal by two goals.
