Ghana has denied that its President, Nana Akufo-Addo, made a disparaging comment about Nigeria and its president, Muhammadu Buhari.
The country’s High Commission in Nigeria made the denial in a statement issued and described the comment as the work of detractors who want to sow discord between the two leaders.
Some online publications had claimed that the Ghanaian President slammed Buhari and asked Nigerians to return to their country and improve it.
Dismissing the comment, the Ghana High Commission 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.”
