It is heartwarming and reassuring to know that the Nigerian government does not endorse any part of those condemnable pronouncements by the gentleman.
Ghana and Nigeria reaffirmed our cordial and inseparable historical relations with a firm commitment at ensuring that this recent blip is not allowed to mar our great relations.
The Minister of State expressed gratitude to President Mahama, his government and Ghanaians for the maturity and tolerance demonstrated which has prevented an escalation.
Minister Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu assured that President Tinubu’s government will also continue to guarantee the safety of Ghanaians living in Nigeria.
