He was a “key player” for Manchester United, Mr Adongo said during a budget debate But he did not let up in his criticism of Vice-President Bawumia “As for our Maguire, he is now at the IMF, with a cap in hand,” he added Speaking to the BBC’s Newsday programme, Mr Adongo explained that he had used “Harry Maguire’s struggle for form from 2021 to 2022” to communicate his dissatisfaction with Ghana’s economy
“When Harry’s form improved, I felt that he deserved an apology As a lover of football, it was important that I recognised his turnaround.”
When Mr Adongo was asked about the footballer accepting his apology, he said: “That humility has made my day, this brings closure.”
