2023 Nigerian elections: Akufo-Addo denies asking 'Bola Tinubu to give Peter Obi a chance'

In a series of tweets shared on Tuesday, August 9, 2022, the president said that he has never thought of writing such a letter.

Akufo-Addo added that he will never think of interfering in the 2023 election of Ghana’s sister country, Nigeria,

"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,” the tweets the president shared read.
