Member of Parliament hopeful for the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency, Fred Nuamah, has revealed in what capacity he attended the funeral of the late Christian Atsu.

Fred has clarified that he went there as a sport manager and also to offer his support. Many Ghanaians who attended or watched the funeral service from their various homes may have assumed that the Ghanaian actor was there because of the position he is fighting for.

When asked by the host, MzGee, whether he planned to attend Atsu's funeral, Fred Nuamah, who was a special guest on Utv's United Showbiz, disclosed this.

“I am into sport management thus I went with one of my footballers who is Emmanuel Adebayor. So, if you saw me at the funeral, then it means I was there as a sport manager and not a parliamentary hopeful as you asked"

“Anyone who is into sport management, and if someone who is part of the sporting field dies and the footballers are invited, managers are also supposed to go so I went there as a sport manager”, Fred Nuamah’s reply to the host.

He continued by saying that, the late Christian Atsu hails from his mother’s hometown so there was no way he could miss Christian Atsu’s funeral.

He stated, “The man we are talking about is from my mother’s hometown so it was prudent on my part for me to attend the funeral. Also, I went as someone who knew the man who is leaving us”.
