President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the failed coup attempt on the Government of Ghana, early Wednesday morning.

Igbere TV had reported the interception of an attempted plot against the authorities in Ghana, particularly the president.

President Buhari’s reactions were contained in a statement by his Senior Spokesman, Garba Shehu, in a tweet sighted by Igbere TV.

Read below....

Following the announcement of the interception of an attempted plot against the authorities in Ghana, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has issued the following statement:

“Nigeria and Ghana are leading partners in ECOWAS, and Transparency International, and Afrobarometer’s Africa Index 2019 attested that both countries have recorded exceptional advances in fighting corruption.

When you take on powerful and corrupt vested interests successfully, sometimes they seek to push back. As the saying goes, ‘if you fight corruption, corruption will fight back’.

“The only acceptable form of governance in our region in this 21st century is through democratic elections. It is the only way to install – and the only way to change – an administration. The days of coups and government without votes are over.

“All Africans hold the nation of Ghana in the highest esteem as the first post-colonial country to gain independence, and the first African country to hold multi-party elections by universal suffrage. Ghana is the first, true African democracy.

“We in Nigeria hold out – as always - our hands in support and friendship to our brothers and sisters in Ghana”.

1984 comes to mind






It seems our president is a repentant coup plotter

Ghana escaped a coup but we have found ourselves in a coup plotted and hatched by PMB

Why won't he stand with them...

Nigeria need a breathe of fresh air through splitting of the current Federal arrangement.

Hahaha...The major reason he doesn’t want to change the security chiefs.He knows he will suffer the same fate if he dares change them.

cant you understand a simple sentence, he said coup era are over

Nigeria - still unequalled when it comes to corruption.

Leave Ghana now and go and fight your own malaise.

May be some people are aggrieved with Nana. Coup plot in Ghana? I doubt

Not even any major international media carry it yet

Coming from a coupist

Buhari and his ineffective clowns are now jittery cos they are scared same may happen in Nigeria. What is this useless fight on corruption Garba Shehu laying claim to?
When will these clowns suddenly realise that empty talks are just so ineffective in getting things done?

Nothing is in buharis brain aside cows and chanting kwarupsion

Buhari is a useless president

Corruption is not fighting you back, President Buhari. Everybody is cool in the Presidency. That means you are not fighting corruption.
