But Nana-Addo intervened and ordered the Kayserispor striker to rescind his decision and make himself available for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Ghana's all-time leading scorer obliged and met his coach to smoke the peace pipe ahead of their pre-tournament camping in Dubai.

President Akufo-Addo retweeted a photo posted by Gyan after the meeting with the comment: ''Way to go.''
