LAGOS—FOUNDER of the One Love Family
sect, located in Ibadan, Satguru Maharaj ji, yesterday, asked the Ghanaian
President, Nana Akufo-Addo, to apologise to the Federal Government and 723
Nigerians that were deported from his country over sundry allegations.
Maharaj ji’s reaction came barely 48
hours after Nigerian High Commissioner to Ghana, Ambassador Michael Abikoye,
disclosed the deportation while protesting against the action of the Ghanaian
government to Nigerians between 2018 and 2019.
He said: “It is sad that another
discriminative act against Nigerians living abroad has been perpetrated again.
We are just getting over the issue of xenophobia in South Africa. And now,
Nigerians living peacefully in Ghana have been deported.” He urged Akufo-Addo
to revisit the AU and ECOWAS conventions signed previously and immediately
retract the action, saying, we all have rights to live in all African
countries.
Maharaj ji, however, cautioned President Muhammadu Buhari against
retaliation saying it could trigger confrontation between both countries and
the citizens would suffer. According to him, the President should also query
Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama and the Senior Special Assistant to
the President on Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, for their inability to foresee
the act and liaise with the Ghanaian government to prevent the act.
