Some Nigerian in Ghana have mounted huge billboards of two main Nigerian political contenders in Nigeria: President Goodluck Jonathan and his main contender, Muhammadu Buhari at various points in the capital city, Accra ahead of their elections in February. A few Ghanaians have raised concerns about the issue as they fear the mounting of the billboards can bring tension or at worst invite Boko Haram into the country. However, the Managing Editor of the Insight Newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jr., has allayed those fears. He told Kwami Sefa Kayi on PEACE FM morning show 'Kokrokoo' that there is no way such an act can bring Boko Haram since it is nothing new. �It�s not the billboards that will attract the boko haram guys...If we say the billboards are too many and we want to complain about that, no problem. But we should not say the billboards should not be erected at all. When you go to Lagos, you see Ghanaian companies doing businesses in Nigeria have erected billboards. So if Ghanaians can have billboards in their country, why can�t they also have theirs here. Of course this are political ones but still�� he noted. Click the audio to listen to Kwesi Pratt on PEACE FM
