Between 60 to 70 volunteers have been working since July to create this year’s attraction. There will be around 50 actors, in costume, rotating throughout the week. Over the years Niedermaier said the volunteers have become friends and are a lot like family.

President Buhari reacts to alleged coup in Ghana

President Muhammadu Buhari, has condemned the alleged coup attempt in Ghana. According to the President, democratic elections are the only acceptable way to install and change a government in Africa.

Reacting to the development today through a statement by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu, Mr Buhari condemned the plot as an affront on democracy. Read the statement below:

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

GHANA: PRESIDENT BUHARI SAYS DEMOCRACY ONLY ACCEPTABLE FORM OF GOVERNANCE IN AFRICA

Following the announcement of the interception of an attempted plot against the authorities in Ghana, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has issued the following statement:

“Nigeria and Ghana are leading partners in ECOWAS, and Transparency International, and Afrobarometer’s Africa Index 2019 attested that both countries have recorded exceptional advances in fighting corruption. When you take on powerful and corrupt vested interests successfully, sometimes they seek to push back. As the saying goes, ‘if you fight corruption, corruption will fight back’.

“The only acceptable form of governance in our region in this 21st century is through democratic elections. It is the only way to install – and the only way to change – an administration. The days of coups and government without votes are over.

“All Africans hold the nation of Ghana in the highest esteem as the first post-colonial country to gain independence and the first African country to hold multi-party elections by universal suffrage. Ghana is the first, true African democracy.

“We in Nigeria hold out – as always – our hands in support and friendship to our brothers and sisters in Ghana”.

Garba Shehu

Senior Special Assistant to the President
