The Centre for Public Opinion and Awareness (CenPOA) has advised President Akufo-Addo not to allow his personal interests and ties with the French to influence any regrettable decision in the Niger crisis.
The Executive Director of CenPOA, Michael Donyina Mensah, says there are speculations that the French are behind what is going on in Niger because of their business interests.
He said these speculations could have some elements of truth since they would want to prevent the destruction of their businesses.
To do this, the French will want to use some people or countries to promote their interests.
He said President Akufo-Addo is a possible candidate that the French may want to use because of his strong ties and relationship with them.
Speaking in an interview on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm, he said, ”I want to advise President Akufo-Addo to tread cautiously in how he intervenes in the matter. There are speculations that the French are behind what is happening because they want to protect their business interests. If they are indeed behind what is happening, they will need people to help them, and President Akufo-Addo is a possible target. He is a possible target because of his strong ties and relationship with the French”. Click here to read more on GhanaWeb.
