The headline of the publication read: “Go Back to your Country
and Make it Better- Nana Akufo tells Nigerians.”
The body of the report read: “The Nigerian government sending
special envoys to us will never change the way we will govern our
nation.
“The same Ghanaians you chased away in 1983 during Buhari
administration is the same Ghanaians Nigerians are running to for
shelter. We fought for a better Ghana with our blood by carrying
out a revolution. We killed corrupt politicians for Ghana to be a
new nation.
“Nigerians are being chased in South Africa, Kenya, Senegal,
UAE, all over the world because of failed government. The
government of Nigeria is a disgrace to democracy and justice in
Africa. We expect Nigerian youths to wake up from their slumber for
a better Nigeria.”
But reacting to the publication, the Ghanaian government, in a
statement released to the Nigerian media by Ghana High Commission
in Nigeria on Monday said: “The attention of Ghanaian officials has
been drawn to another spurious publication by faceless
individuals,who are hell bent on destroying the very cordial and
brotherly relations existing between our leaders (President Akufo
Addo and President Buhari).
“President Akufo Addo has not and will not make any disparaging
remarks about any country and her people, let alone a very
strategic partner like the Federal Republic of Nigeria and her
people.
“Clearly, this is the work of people, who hate the progress, the
two leaders are making to forge more deepened and strategic
relations. The said publication is false and should be seen as the
work of detractors, who want to sow discord between our leaders and
people.”
