Ghanaian President, Akufo-Addo, denies urging Tinubu to step down for Peter Obi

In a Facebook post, Ghana’s president, Nana Akufo-Addo, denied telling the APC’s presidential candidate Bola Tinubu to back Peter Obi.

In a tweet on Tuesday, Akufo-Addo asserted that the post regarding Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, was spiteful and inaccurate.
Ghana’s president insisted that he did not write the message and that he would never engage in the politics or internal affairs of Nigeria.

“My attention has been drawn to a disturbing post making the rounds on social media, where it is alleged I have written to the 2023 presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to ‘give Peter Obi a chance and seek treatment for his health’,” Akufo-Addo tweeted.

The Ghanaian President reiterated that Nigeria and Ghana had enjoyed decades of relationship and he would not interfere in the internal affairs of the country.

“This is completely false and mischievous, with no iota of truth whatsoever in it.

“I have written no such letter to the APC leader, and it will not occur to me to do so.

“Ghana and Nigeria boast of decades of cordial, strong and brotherly relations, and I am not going to be the one to interfere in the internal affairs and politics of Nigeria.”
