At at a media conference in Kumasi, Nana Boateng said: “Asanteman has always been a beacon of hospitality, welcoming foreigners and treating them with kindness.
This tradition of warmth and acceptance makes the proposed demonstration unnecessary and unwelcomed”, He explained that the presence of Igbo individuals in Ghana was not an issue.
“We respect their roles in our communities, and instead of targeting them, we urge the government to focus on strengthening our borders to prevent malicious individuals from entering our country.”

The caution to all foreigners living in Ghana, he directed, was for them to abide by laws, which would contribute positively to the well-being of societies.
