Appreciative of the presence of the Black Stars captain and other Black Stars teammates, Dormaahene Nana Agyeman Badu II announced that the first male child that will be born at the Dormaa hospital the following day on July 23 will be named after Andre Ayew.

True to his words and the directive, the first male born to Mr. Appiah Tuffuor, a teacher with the Ghana Education Service at 02:05 am has been named after Andre Ayew.

Elated about the newborn, the Dormaahene has donated an undisclosed amount of money to the family.

This was done at the naming ceremony of the baby boy today which attracted a large gathering of residents in Dormaa to witness the historic occasion.

It is to honour Andre Ayew for his exemplary leadership.
