Nigeria’s House of Representatives Speaker, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has arrived in Ghana over the ongoing disagreement between the two countries over the levy imposed on Nigerian traders.
The Speaker made this known via a tweet on his official handle.
“Initial meeting with my host the Speaker of Ghanian Parliament who met me at the airport Hon Prof Mike Oquaye. We will meet again this evening,” he tweeted.
The Nigerian speaker had told State House correspondents at the end of a meeting he had with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday that he had received Buhari’s nod to embark on the trip.
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, had last week protested the development, saying it would no longer accept the humiliation of Nigerians by Ghana.
Ghanaian authorities had since responded to the statement, saying Mohammed’s claims on the issue and previous ones were inaccurate.
