Tinubu leaves for Ghana to attend Mahama’s inauguration
President Bola Tinubu is set to depart Lagos on Monday, for Ghana, to join world leaders for the inauguration of President-elect John Dramani Mahama on January 7.
Mr. Mahama, who previously served as Ghana’s 12th president from 2011 to 2017, was reelected in December 2024 and will succeed President Nana Akuffo-Addo, who has been in office since 2017.
A statement by the spokesman of the President, Chief Bayo Onanuga on Sunday, said Tinubu’s trip to Accra is at the invitation of the President-elect, who had visited the Nigerian leader earlier in December.
“Mahama and President Tinubu have a longstanding personal relationship, just like Nigeria and Ghana maintain a longstanding bilateral relationship.
