President Buhari authorized Speaker Gbajabiamila to solve diplomatic spat with Ghana

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Tuesday got President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval to embark on “legislative diplomacy” to Ghana to try to resolve the crisis between Nigeria and the West African neighbour.

The Speaker was at the presidential villa, Abuja on Tuesday to apprise the president of the trip, which he will undertake on Wednesday.

Gbajabiamila had last week said the closure of Nigerian shops in Ghana contravened Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) trade protocols and had called for a decisive solution between both countries.
