Reflecting on the election, Gyan took to social media to urge Ghanaians to support the Mahama led government for the country to succeed. He also advised Ghanaians to change their attitudes, which have plunged the country into tough times.
"You know, when there is an issue, I will share my thoughts. Let's support the government. Any government that comes to power let's support them. When you go and buy things at GHC 50 and you sell them at GHC 1000, the country will go through hardship," he said.
"Ghana has decided, let's put party politics aside, and if your party has won, focus on government and for us as citizens, we will also support," he added.
"We also have to change our attitudes and we have to support the new government. Let's congratulate the new government and that is my message."

Athletes from different disciplines across the country will come together to compete for laurels.
The best-performing sportsmen will have the opportunity to secure sponsorships and scholarships to further their careers.
