Boniface Gambila replies John Mahama on ‘strained’ Ghana-Burkina relations

Ghana’s Ambassador to Burkina Faso, Boniface Gambila, has rejected claims that the country’s relationship with Burkina Faso has been strained.

This comes after former President and National Democratic Congress flagbearer, John Mahama alleged that President Akufo-Addo’s recent commentary and engagement with the US government have affected the relationship between the two countries.

Speaking during a media interaction in the Upper East Region, Mr. Mahama criticised the President for causing "diplomatic tension" between the two states.

"We know what is happening in Burkina Faso, and we should be working closer with our comrades in Burkina Faso. Unfortunately, this government has created tension between us and Burkina Faso because our President went to open his mouth too widely, gossiping about your neighbour, so it has created some diplomatic tension.

“When government changes, we have to go and talk to our neighbours because we must work together. I think that we must improve our relationship,” he said.
