Following the news which went viralmonFaebook yesterday,
Ghanian President; Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has denied writing a letter to the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, appealing to him to give the flagbearer of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi a chance in the forthcoming 2023 presidential election.
He also said he never told Tinubu to seek treatment for his health as contained in the purported letter making the rounds on social media.
Akufo-Addo, who advised people via his verified Twitter handle to discountenance the story, noted that the letter was false and mischievous.
According to him: “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”.
“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.”
Nigeria will hold its presidential election on February 25, 2023. I think the Nigerian Government needs to take this fake news issue seriously. It’s becoming an embarrassment to the nation.
