“You have taught me and raised me to be a strong and focused man. No words can express how thankful I am to you and your family in nearly every aspect of my life.”
“May God abundantly bless you and keep watching over you. The blue army is lucky to have a strong father and leader like you.”
“To the fans, I can’t thank you enough. You have always given me the best comfort. Even at our worst times, you made me feel expendable [sic] and at our best you made me feel nothing but love.
“To my teammates, you are friends that became my chosen family and the bond will forever be. To the technical team, thanks for grooming me into the best of my abilities and I shall forever honour that,” concluded the Black Stars goalkeeper.
