Tinubu to Attend Inauguration of Ghana’s President-elect John Mahama

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will travel to Accra, Ghana, on Monday, January 6, 2025, to attend the inauguration of President-elect John Dramani Mahama on January 7.

Gists9ja reports that this announcement was made by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in a statement on Sunday.

The trip, which follows an invitation from Mahama, will also include the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Mrs. Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and other senior Nigerian government officials. The inauguration will be attended by several African leaders as well.

Mahama, who previously served as the 12th president of Ghana from 2011 to 2017, was re-elected in December 2024 and will succeed President Nana Akufo-Addo, whose term ends in 2025. President Tinubu and Mahama share a longstanding personal relationship, and their nations, Nigeria and Ghana, have a rich history of bilateral ties.

As Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, President Tinubu will represent the organization at the ceremony.
