The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential flag-bearer Bola Tinubu was not asked to step aside for the Labour Party (LP) presidential flag-bearer, Peter Obi, according to the Ghanaian High Commission in Nigeria.
This was announced in a statement released on Sunday in Abuja by the Ghanaian High Commissioner Rashid Bawa.
Mr. Bawa denied the reports making the rounds in the media that President Akufo-Addo had written to Tinubu to give Obi the opportunity to get medical attention for his health.
He stated that Ghana and Nigeria have had decades of cordial relations in line with 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.
“To that end, the President of the Republic of Ghana will not interfere in Nigeria’s internal affairs and politics, as captured in the series of tweets of Tuesday, 9 August 2022, from His Excellency’s Twitter handle (@NAkufoAddo).
“It is hoped that this added perspective would serve to dispel misconceptions created by the online publication,” he stated.
