Ghana disowns online publication urging Bola Tinubu to give Peter Obi a chance

The Ghanaian Government has dissociated itself from an online news publication alleging that President Nana Akufo-Addo, has written to the 2023 Presidential candidate of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, to “give Peter Obi a chance and seek treatment for his health.”

A statement released by the Ghana High Commission in Nigeria dismissed the report as fake news.

It was also contained in the statement that Ghana and Nigeria boast of decades of cordial, solid, and fraternal relations, underpinned by the belief in the tenets of democratic governance, rule of law, respect for, and adherence to the principle of non-interference in the internal political mechanisms of other countries.

The High Commission insists that the Ghanaian President will never interfere in Nigeria’s internal affairs and politics, as captured in the series of tweets of Tuesday, 9 August 2022, on the president’s Twitter handle (@NAkufoAddo).

The commission hopes that this added perspective would serve to dispel misconceptions created by the online publication.
