Claim 3: “Ghanaian President John Mahama will visit Russia in October to attend the Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow”

MISLEADING

While one web search result mentions a visit by 'John Dramani Mahama', Wikipedia evidence confirms that Nana Akufo-Addo was the President of Ghana from 2017 to 2025. John Mahama is a former president. Referring to him as 'Ghanaian President' in the context of a current official visit is misleading as he is not the sitting head of state.
