The presence of President Bola Tinubu at the swearing-in ceremony of Ghana’s newly elected President, John Dramani Mahama, is to further deepen relationship between Nigeria and Ghana.
Presidential Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga, who disclosed this to newsmen on Tuesday evening in Accra, capital of Ghana, stressed that Nigeria will also break new grounds with Ghana under new President Dramani Mahama.
According to him, “Ghana happened to get its independence first and Nigeria followed three years after and the two countries have had long time relationships so many things hold us together either musically or economically.
“Now the new president is President Tinubu’s friend, they have known each other for some years now and secondly, Ghana and Nigeria are like siamese twins and this relationship dated back to some four to five decades ago.
“So many things, that is why we are here to continue that cordial relationship between Nigeria and Ghana. And for the President to witness the swearing in of a friend, what i forsee is that the relationship between the two countries will be further deepened”.
He added that Ghana, under its former leader, Akufo Ado, also recorded laudable feats with Nigeria.
He said: “Even under the past leader, Akufo Ado, this was the case , i can see us breaking new grounds under Mahama, i say this because there is also a personal relationship involved.”
Onanuga hinted that many challenges will be further tackled, thereby strengthening the relations between the two countries leveraging on the two leaders’ personal relationships.
“So so many problems will be solved in this kind of personal relationships.” he added.
