| Ghanaian President, Nana Akufo |
Following the outcome of the Nigeria’s controversial presidential election, Ghanaians have lashed out at their President, Nana Akufo-Addo for congratulating the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu for his victory as New President-elect.
Akufo-Addo had taken to Twitter on Friday to congratulate Tinubu.
He wrote: “President-elect Bola Tinubu’s victory has ensured that the ruling APC Government has been given four (4) more years to continue in office, which, I am hopeful, will go a long way to enhancing the quality of governance, the rule of law and the performance of the Nigerian economy.
“The presidential candidates of the Peoples’ Democratic Party and the Labour Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, respectively, are to be commended for their vigorous, well-fought campaigns.
“I am confident that their reactions to the results of the election will reinforce the boundaries of Nigerian democracy, and consolidate the peace and stability of Nigeria, Africa’s giant.
“It is my expectation that the President-elect would continue in the stead of past Nigerian leaders, and deepen even further the strong friendship that exists between Nigeria & Ghana, which has been based on a shared agenda of freedom, dev’t, security, progress and prosperity.”
The message didn’t get the endorsement of Ghanaians who took to Twitter to lash out at their president.
