Nigeria born Togolese striker, Emmanuel Adebayor has reacted to questions on why he hasn’t made any donation to help his home country fight against coronavirus saying “I won’t donate, I didn’t bring coronavirus to the country,” Bestchoicesports.com.ng can report.
Samuel Eto’o made donations of hand sanitizers and palliatives to his home country of Cameroun while Didier Drogba donated his soon-to-be-completed hospital to Ivory Coast to help in the fight against the virus.
This has led to questions wondering why Adebayor hasn’t done the same to help his own country.
He responded in a Facebook live video:
“I always do things according to the wishes of my heart and not according to the words of others.
“I’m sorry that people compare me to Samuel Eto’o and Didier Drogba by asking me why I don’t have a foundation or why I don’t donate, as if I was the one who brought the coronavirus to Togo
“I am neither the one nor the other, I am me, Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor. A word of advice for the guys regarding donations, I will not do that. Everything is clear and very simple. Thank you and good day.”
