Ghanaian President John Mahama has disclosed that he prays daily for Nigeria to get its act together due to the relationship between both countries.
President Mahama revealed at a recent event that Nigeria and Ghana are like cousins. As such, issues that arise from one end may affect the other.
“Ghana and Nigeria are twins of the same mother, except when we fight over Jollof and football. Otherwise, you know we are the same people…so, Nigeria is of keen security interest to us,” Mahama said.
He explained that if Nigeria does well, Ghana does well. According to him, a stable and thriving Nigeria benefits the entire region and helps prevent economic migration to Ghana.
The Ghanaian President said;
“I mean, when you have cousins, 250 million of them, you want them to do well so that 1 million of them don’t come drifting towards a small country like Ghana. So every day I wake up, I pray for Nigeria, I say God let Nigeria get their act together.”
