Accra: Ghanaian footballer Antoine Semenyo has disclosed that President John Dramani Mahama is the most prominent person on his contact list. Semenyo, who is currently playing for Manchester City, mentioned that he has the president's contact and occasionally engages with him to foster a relationship.
According to Ghana Web, Semenyo refrained from sharing details about how he met President Mahama, the nature of their discussions, or the length of their acquaintance. Although details were sparse, Semenyo expressed his delight in having the president's contact, considering it a significant honor.
The revelation came during a light-hearted question-and-answer session with an interviewer engaging Manchester City players. When asked about the most famous person on his contact list, Semenyo responded with a smile, "The President of Ghana." He chose not to elaborate further when asked if he interacts with Mahama.
In a humorous moment, when teammate Marc Guehi was next, the interviewer jested, "President of Ghana," leading to laughter from those present. Semenyo, at 26, is in the midst of an impressive season in the English Premier League, recently contributing his 20th goal of the 2025/26 season during Manchester City's 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace. His current form is promising for the Black Stars as they prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
