President Bola Tinubu has departed Lagos for Accra, the capital of the Republic of Ghana, to attend the inauguration of President-elect John Dramani Mahama on January 7.
A statement by the special adviser on information and strategy Bayo Onanuga said Monday thatPresident 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.
President Tinubu, as Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, will join other African leaders at the ceremony.
Mahama, who served as the 12th President of Ghana between 2011 and 2017, was re-elected in December 2024. He will succeed President Nana Akuffo-Addo
