President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja on Monday for Accra, Ghana, to attend the inauguration of John Mahama, President-elect, on 7th January.
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).
This is according to President Tinubu’s Spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement made available to newsmen.
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, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and other senior government officials will accompany President Tinubu on the trip.
