Some Ghanaians are unhappy with the responses of some Nigerians to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s comment on the #EndSARS protests in Nigeria.
Ghanaians have supported Nigerians on social media since the protests against police brutality in Nigeria started.
A lot of them called on President Akufo-Addo, who is also the Chairman of ECOWAS, to speak on the protests after African leaders including the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, were silent on the issue.
President Akufo-Addo finally issued a statement on the issue on Wednesday, October 21, 2020.
However, President Akufo-Addo’s statement on the #EndSARS protests were met with insults and disappointment from some Nigerians on social media.
The reaction to Ghana’s President by some Nigerians did not sit well with some Ghanaians who have indicated that they are no longer joining the online protest to support Nigerians in their fight against police brutality in their country.
But, other Ghanaians have condemned the above tweets and have advised Ghanaians to continue to support Nigerians and ignore the negative comments of some Nigerians made about President Akufo-Addo.
Read below some of the tweets.

One thing about Ghanaians is we hate being disrespected, and disrespect to our our president means disrespect to us.

If the online protest you were doing it genuinely for the sake of humanity, a few Nigerians insulting Nana Addo no fit be reason to discourage you now unoe.
