GHANA:AKUFFO-ADDO TWIST FACTS TO PUT SMILE ON BUHARI'S FACE

BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU.

The News office Desk of the E.N.M.Paedia Express Multimedia Group of Lagos,Nigeria can now authoritatively confirm that The President of the Republic of Ghana ,Mr Nana Akuffo-Addo was in fact economical with the truth when he denied a derogatory remark he made on Nigeria at a recent Oxford African conference.

President Akuffo-Addo in an advertorial of  1/06/2018 placed on page 23 of the Daily Trust Newspapers by the Ghana High Commission went down memory lane to recall how Nigeria enjoyed oil boom in the 1970s and his own nation,Ghana suffered.

He recalled that Nigeria's naira was a hot cake at the time and was being exchanged as a foreign legal tender in Ghana and most parts of the world at the time of Nigeria 's Oil boom.

Akuffo-Addo:"i do not need to spell out today's reality  to anyone in this audience cite this just to make the point that the outside world is well able to tell that there are separate sovereign nations on the African  continent but when the new is not good then Africa is treated as one entity"

The Ghanaian government denied in very strong words and terms that it had deliberately attacked Nigeria.

Now of particular interest to this medium are the words in the immediate paragraph  before this :i do not need to spell out today's reality to anyone in this audience"

It is a known fact anyone around the world presently that the Boko Haram  insurgency, Fulani Herdsmen strikes, kidnapping ,armed gang banditry ,organized crime wave ,human trafficking ,drugs peddling amongst several others have become official badges on the uniform or clothing of an average Nigerian hence denying what is on print and ink by a government official to massage the ego of another nation is highly unfortunate indeed.
