Ghanaians Drag Their President for Congratulating Tinubu on 2023 Election

Ghanaians have berated their President for congratulating Tinubu on the 2023 Election.

Newsone had reported earlier that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the 2023 presidential election.

INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, also subsequently issued Mr. Tinubu a “Certificate of Return” the same day.

Reacting to Tinubu’s emergence, Ghanian President Nana Akufo-Addo, issued a statement on the micro-blogging site, Twitter, congratulating Nigeria’s President-elect.

The Ghanaian President wrote: “On behalf of the Ghanaian people and their Government, I extend warm congratulations to the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his victory in the Nigerian presidential election of Saturday, 25th February.

“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, development, security, progress, and prosperity.

“Warm congratulations, once again, to President-elect Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu, and to the people of Nigeria. Best wishes for his and Nigeria’s success,” he tweeted.

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.

Apparently displeased with the congratulatory message to Tinubu by their President, Ghanaians took to the comment section of the post to lambaste the President for congratulating Nigeria’s President with some saying “we didn’t ask you to.”

You must be sick for congratulating Tinubu. Was this the kind of election that brought you into power in Ghana? Well, maybe.
