Ghana won't dare demolish our embassy if we have a president, says Fani-Kayode

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode 

Former Minister of Aviation and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, has reacted to the demolition of Nigerian embassy in Ghana.

Recall that Armed men on Friday stormed the staff quarters of the Nigerian High Commission in Ghana with bulldozers, demolishing a block of apartments on the property.


It was gathered that the building was being constructed to house staff and visiting diplomats to the High Commission.

A worker with the High Commission complained about the lackluster attitude of the Ghanaian Police in handling the situation.

The staff quarters of the Nigerian High Commission in Ghana said to have been demolished by a businessman.




He said the policemen watched from afar as the building was being destroyed without doing anything.

The worker said a Ghanaian businessman had claimed that the building was being built on his land.

He said the man showed up last week with some pieces of evidence to support his claim and began to knock down the fence surrounding the building.



Angered by the report, Fani-Kayode in a tweet on Tuesday said Ghana would not dare demolished our embassy if we had a president.

Nigerian traders in Ghana have had their shops forcefully shut for the last 8 months. Now our Embassy in Accra has been demolished & embassy staff threatened with violence. I assure you that Ghana would not try this if Nigeria had a President or if OBJ or Abacha were in power.
