President John Mahama of Ghana has expressed deep emotional concern over Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, revealing that he prays daily for the country to overcome its challenges.
Speaking during an award ceremony in Ghana, Mahama said the stability and future of Africa are closely tied to Nigeria’s survival, stressing that the ripple effects of the crisis extend far beyond its borders.
He warned that Ghana could face serious consequences if insecurity forces large numbers of Nigerians to migrate, noting the deep historical and cultural ties between both nations.
“Nigeria is of keen security interest to us. If Nigeria does well, Ghana does well,” he said.

“Every day I wake up, I pray for Nigeria; I ask God to help the country get things right.”
Mahama added that Nigeria’s population strength, while a blessing, could pose a challenge for neighbouring countries if instability persists.
His remarks come amid renewed concerns over escalating violence linked to terrorism and banditry, particularly in the North-East.
Mahama’s heartfelt message underscores growing regional anxiety over Nigeria’s security situation, with leaders increasingly calling for urgent and lasting solutions.
