FAKE NEWS ALERT: Ghana president disowns post asking Tinubu to ‘give Peter Obi a chance’

Nana Akufo-Addo, president of Ghana, has disowned a Facebook post claiming he advised Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to give Peter Obi a chance. 

In a Twitter post on Tuesday, Akufo-Addo said the post regarding Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), is false and mischievous. 

The Ghana president said he did not author such a post and will never interfere in Nigeria’s internal affairs and politics.

“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 wrote.

“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.”
