The Senate President, Dr. Bukola
Saraki on Monday, presented an ostrich egg with the map of Africa painted on it
to the President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo in Accra, Ghana.
Saraki, who is in Ghana for the
25th anniversary of the Ghanaian Parliament presented the painted and lacquered
egg, which was made in Bauchi State, Nigeria.
The presentation of the egg was
the highlight of the meeting between the President of the Nigerian Senate and
the President of Ghana on the sidelines of the anniversary celebration.
Speaking at the meeting with
Ghanaian President, Saraki reviewed the history of Nigeria-Ghana diplomatic
relationship, submitting that it had improved democracy and good governance for
the people of both countries.
Saraki appreciated the
relationship of the countries, pointing out that the invitation of President
Mohammadu Buhari and himself to witness the celebration of Ghana’s 25 years of
parliamentary democracy was a sign of the growing good relationship between the
two nations.
According to him, Nigeria’s
Senate and the National Assembly, in general, was committed to improving the
quality of governance in favour of the people, a resolve which he said had
resulted in the enactment of several laws and passage of important resolutions.
In his remark, Ghana’s President,
Akufo Addo, noted that because of the key roles played by parliaments in good
governance, the two countries were paying much attention to boosting
parliamentary relationship.
Akufo Addo said, “Parliaments in
both countries had become very robust and rich in the quality of legislation,
it was in the best interest of the people that support must be accorded the
legislature to continue its work.
“The collaboration between
Nigeria and Ghana in good governance and democracy has been of great benefits
to Africa and its people.”

ReplyDeleteTo the concerned Ghanaian and the president - Nana Akufo-Addo PLEASE do not allow that egg to "hatch" in your country. It is like a Trojan horse - mother of corruption in disguise!. If it "hatches", you will see the outbreak of great corruption in your country.
