On Tuesday, January 7, President Bola Tinubu, alongside former Nigerian leaders Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, attended the historic inauguration of Ghana’s newly elected president, John Mahama, in Accra.
The ceremony marked the return of Mahama to office after he succeeded Nana Akufo-Addo, who served as his predecessor from 2017.
A groundbreaking moment was also witnessed as Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang was sworn in as Ghana’s first female vice president, further highlighting the country’s progressive political landscape.
In his speech, President Tinubu reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to supporting Ghana under Mahama’s leadership, praising him as a leader of “patriotic vision and substance.”
He emphasised the importance of African unity, stating, “You can always count on Nigeria’s support.”
President Mahama, in his inaugural address, expressed gratitude for the presence of dignitaries like President Tinubu, pledging to strengthen ties within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and focus on regional prosperity.
The event underscored the deepening ties between Ghana and Nigeria, offering a vision of unity and progress for the West African region.
