President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja today for Accra, Ghana, to attend the inauguration of the President-elect, John Mahama, tomorrow, January 7.
Mahama, who served as the 12th President of Ghana from 2011 to 2017, was reelected in December 2024.
He will succeed President Nana Akuffo-Addo (2017-2025), President Tinubu’s spokesman, Mr Bayo Onanuga, said in a statement.
“President 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.”
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Mrs Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and other senior government officials will accompany the president on the trip. (NAN)
