President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, has denied reports indicating that he has pledged support for Peter Obi ahead of Nigeria's 2023 elections.

Per the said report making rounds, President Akufo-Addo allegedly entreated Nigerians to give Peter Obi a chance and seek treatment for his health.

But in a Twitter post on August 9, President Akufo-Addo described the article as "completely false and mischievous".

He wrote "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."

According to the President, he has not put pen to paper to express such demands and neither will he do so in the near future.

He argued that Ghana and Nigeria boast of decades of cordial, strong and brotherly relations, thus "I am not going to be the one to interfere in the internal affairs and politics of Nigeria."

Peter Obi is vying for the presidency on a Labour Party ticket. Nigerians will elect a new president in February 2023 to take over from Muhammadu Buhari.
