The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Sammy Awuku has descended on sacked Nigerian lecturer at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) over unpleasant statement he made in a video gone viral.

In the video,  Prof. Augustine Uzoma Nwagbara is heard and seen inciting  the Nigerian community in Ghana to devise strategies targeted at destroying Ghana’s image.

In his statement, Sammy Awuku said he was optimistic there are some wonderful Nigerians living in Ghana who are definitely not in support of Prof. Nwagbara's "disgraceful" speech.

Mr. Awuku therefore appealed to the Nigerian High Commission to engage their nationals residing in the country to help combat crime and not glorify hate speeches.

“Ghanaians have shown you generosity and all that you can say is this?" Sammy Awuku asked in disappointment.

"...some of the things he said is disparaging but we cannot stand on it and generalize it that all Nigerians are bad,” he further said on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" Thursday morning.
