Media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso, popularly known as Delay, has named Abedi Ayew Pele as the best celebrity father in Ghana for how he’s raised his kids.
Speaking on the Delay Show, she listed her top five celebrity dads who she believes have always been there for their children.
The television and radio presenter also picked musicians Kwaw Kese, Sarkodie, Reggie Rockstone, and Okyeame Kwame among her favourite dads in the country.

His eldest son, Rahim Ayew, played at the 2010 AFCON, while Jordan Ayew has been a mainstay in the national team in the last decade, with Andre Ayew being the Black Stars’ current skipper.
“Top on the list is Abedi Pele. I’d say he’s the best father in Ghana; he is my number one father,” Delay said on her show.
“He is very hardworking. He is always there for his children even at his age. He shows up when his children are signing deals abroad. He has taken care of his children and now, the Black Stars is on their shoulders.”
She added that being a great father is “not just about posting photographs on social media. It entails a lot.”
