President Akufo-Addo meets Togo opposition leaders in Accra 

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will today, March 7, meet the 14 opposition political parties demanding limited presidential terms in Togo, at the presidency in Accra.

The meeting is to report on progress made so far in the ongoing dialogue aimed at restoring peace in Togo.

President Akufo-Addo has been mediating in the political crisis in that country after weeks of protests against President Faure Gnassignbe.

The meeting follow weeks after the parties decided to suspend all forms of protests and demonstrations aimed at forcing President Faure Gnassingbe to step down,  following a meeting between President Nana Akufo-Addo and representatives of the government in Togo.

In October 2017, 26 Togolese nationals were arrested in Ghana for attempting to stage an unlawful demonstration over the political situation in their country.

According to the Accra Regional Police Operations Officer, Chief Superintendent Kwasi Ofori, about 300 Togolese had to be dispersed at the Kawukudi Park because their intended action was in clear breach of Ghana’s public order act.

That was the second time Togolese nationals in Ghana had tried demonstrating in solidarity with efforts back home by the opposition to have presidential term limits.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria' President Mahammadu Buhari of Nigeria has been praising President Akufo-Addo for his efforts in resolving the political crises in Togo.

He praise his Ghanaian counterpart for brokering peace among the feuding political parties in Togo.

President Buhari made the commendation at the Independence Square in Accra during Ghana’s 61st Independence Day Celebration on the theme “Ghana Beyond Aid.”
