Tinubu: Ghanaians Drags Their President For Congratulating Tinubu
The people of Ghana 🇬🇠have criticized their President Nana Akufo-Addo for congratulating Nigeria president-elect Ahmed Bola Tinubu who was controversially declared the winner of the just concluded election in the West African country which was reportedly marred by irregularities and rigging.
President Nana wrote "on behalf of the Ghanaian people and their government, I extend warm congratulations to the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his victory in the Nigeria presidential election of Saturday 25th February."
This didn't go well to some Ghanaians as they took to their Twitter to drag their President.
See Reactions below:
The LP and PDP have strongly condemned INEC's handling of the election and rejected the collation process for not being transparent enough. They accused the APC of rigging the polls, called for the cancellation of the election and demanded the resignation of Yakubu.
The election is the most closely contested since Nigeria returned to democratic rule in 1999. Tinubu lost his home state of Lagos but recovered with wins in key areas including Rivers, Zamfara, Borno, Jigawa, Kogi and Kwara. He also won in Benue, Ekiti, Niger, Ogun, Ondo and Oyo.

Atiku won in his native Adamawa, as well as in Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Gombe, Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi, Osun, Sokoto, Taraba and Yobe.
Obi swept through his southeast region — Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo. He also won in Cross River, Delta, Edo, Lagos, Nasarawa, Plateau and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) polled nearly a million votes in Kano to win the state and finish with a total of 1,496,687 votes. He also joined calls for the election to be cancelled a day after the LP and PDP walked out of the National Collation Centre.
The LP and PDP are expected to escalate their grievances with the process and challenge the legitimacy of Tinubu's victory in court. But as it stands, the 70-year-old will take over from Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria's new president on May 29, 2023.
