President Bola Tinubu will depart Lagos on Monday for Accra, Ghana, to attend the inauguration of President-elect John Dramani Mahama.
The inauguration is billed to hold on January 7 in Accra, the capital of the Republic of Ghana.
Tinubu was invited to the event by the incoming President, Mahama.
Recall that Mahama, who had previously served as the 12th President of Ghana between 2011 and 2017, found his way back to power through an election in December 2024.
He is to succeed President Nana Akuffo-Addo (2017-2025).
Mahama shortly after his election, had visited Tinubu in December.
A statement by Tinubu’s media aide Bayo Onanuga noted that Mahama and Tinubu have a longstanding personal relationship, akin to what Nigeria and Ghana shares through their bilateral relationship.
The statement also noted that 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 President Tinubu on the trip,” the statement added.
