Ghana’s former Foreign Minister Hanna Tetteh has tweeted a picture of a letter sent by former President John Mahama on Tuesday in which he tells his successor that he is withdrawing his request to remain in his official residence. The letter also says he is withdrawing a request for an office.

Officials have insisted that Mr Mahama’s request to stay on, and also receive an office, were not approved.
