But, addressing the media, Mrs. Sonaike-Ayodeji said "The man on his own maintained that he is not a Nigerian…the man said that in the first place he is not Nigerian for him to even substantiate his nationality…and in the process it was established that he was not a minister."
She condemned frequent negative reportage about Nigerians living in Ghana.
