We fought for a better Ghana with our blood by carrying out a revolution. We killed corrupt politicians for Ghana to be a new nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians are being chased in South Africa, Kenya, Senegal, UAE, all over the world because of failed government. The government of Nigeria is a disgrace to democracy and justice in Africa. We expect Nigerian youths to wake up from their slumber for a better Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But reacting to the publication, the Ghanaian government, in a statement released to the Nigerian media by Ghana High Commission in Nigeria on Monday said: \u201cThe 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).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClearly, 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.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ghana government has denied a disparaging comment credited to its president, Akufo Addo on Nigeria and Nigerians.
