Tinubu Travels to Accra for Mahama’s Inauguration

President Bola Tinubu has embarked on a significant diplomatic journey to Accra, Ghana, to witness the historic inauguration of Ghana’s President-elect, John Dramani Mahama, slated for the 7th of January, 2025.

According to the Nigerian Television Authority, Tinubu departed from Murtala Mohammed International Airport earlier today, responding to a personal invitation from Mahama, who had visited him in December.

John Dramani Mahama, who previously served as Ghana’s 12th president from 2011 to 2017, reclaimed the presidency in the December 2024 elections and will succeed President Nana Akufo-Addo.

As the Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Authority of Heads of State and Government, Tinubu is set to join a host of African leaders at this high-profile event, underscoring the strong ties between Nigeria and Ghana.

Accompanying the President on this diplomatic mission are the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Mrs. Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and other senior government officials, further emphasizing the importance of this occasion on the African political landscape.
