You know that election was rigged but because your mouth is now full of honey, you are forgetting where you came from. Sir, please say on behalf of yourself as Nana Akufo Addo, you congratulate Tinubu cus in the name of “democracy”, that's where you all exercise your evil deeds.

Your Excellency you could have just written "Tinubu Congratulations" and it would have been enough. This epistle now is just making someone angry with you now.????????

On behalf of the Ghanaian people, I humbly ask that you step down as President of Ghana as soon as possible

Mr president, if you listen to your people, you will know that 80% of Ghanaians know that Peter Obi won the election and it was rigged. You congratulating Tinubu means you support corruption, vote buying and violence during election.

On behalf of who?
